Welcome to our Partnerships in Focus Hub! Here you can find out about all existing activities, funding and partnership opportunities promoted within the Skillnet Project – The Partnerships in Focus bulletins.
SKILLNET is a project co-funded by the Erasmus+ Programme of the European Union which aims at improving the framework of the Vocational Education and Training (VET) systems to effectively address current societal and economic needs. In doing so, the project attaches core importance to the establishment of transnational and cross-sectoral partnerships promoting the share of knowledge and experiences, as well as joint actions among experts from different regions/countries and fields.
Among its core lines of intervention, SKILLNET has launched a series of 18 webinars on EU funding opportunities to serve as a network for the exchange of knowledge, practices, opportunities, and to create connections among relevant experts to be applied for future partnerships within EU calls. Each webinar is open to all interested parties and focuses on different areas of intervention upon which relevant partnerships can be launched. The topic of each webinar is connected to AER Action Plan and the priorities identified by the members of Committee 1 for Economic & Regional Development and Committee 3 for Youth, Culture & Education.
As a follow-up of each SKILLNET webinar, a Partnerships in Focus bulletin is circulated and stored in this hub. The Partnership in Focus series presents the main information shared during the webinar, the area of intervention, and possible scopes and actors for relevant partnerships.
Have a look at all the Partnerships in Focus bulletins published so far (below) and contact AER team to start establishing partnerships on the field(s) that meet your priorities and expertise!
