  • Involvement in the European information network for vocational education and training (ReferNet)
  • Publication of the “International Handbook of Vocational Education and Training”
  • Implementation of the institute’s own comparative research and development projects within the scope of the Medium-Term Research and Development Programme and participation in projects
