The study focused on two instru­ments: the European Credit System for Vocational Education and Training (ECVET) and European Quality Assurance in Vocational Education and Training (EQAVET).

Skills audits are proposed as a procedure for iden­ti­fy­ing and docu­men­ting knowledge, skills and com­pe­ten­ces. In this study, their use in practice is analysed and sug­ge­sti­ons for impro­ve­ment are developed. 

In the context of the deve­lo­p­ment process for a “National Strategy for the Social Dimension at Universities”, 3s examined measures that con­tri­bu­te to the social dimension in higher education in Austria via a survey. 

The three-year research project aimed at deve­lo­ping a framework for studying the rela­ti­on­ship between further education and its support by public funding schemes and the economic deve­lo­p­ment on regional level.
