Stakeholders from academic research, policy making and practice all have an equal role to play in the shaping of vocational education and training. Yet how can dialogue produce sustainable concepts and solutions given the differing logical approaches and interests involved? And which fields of conflict need to be overcome or used as areas of potential? |

Editorial: Dialogue-based structures - a prerequisite for research that is aligned to policy making and practice Hubert Ertl, Prof. Dr., Director of Research and Vice President of BIBB In its Strategy 2025, BIBB has reconfirmed a commitment to the dictum that "communication between policy making, academic research and practice" should form an essential point of guidance for the multi-layered work conducted by the institute. This means that, in our role as a facilitator, we will offer a forum in which networking between these three areas can take place. The requirements and rationales of the various stakeholders will also continue to inform our own work. This becomes tangible in the BIBB committees, which provide a home for exactly this kind of networking between research, policy and practice. |

Dual vocational education and training topic radar - impetuses for specialist dialogue Margit Ebbinghaus Dual VET is a field in which responses to the challenges created by technological, economic and societal developments need to be identified on an ongoing basis. Dialogue between the areas of VET policy, research and practice forms an important foundation for this process. The aim of the dual VET topic radar is to support this dialogue by mapping the perspectives towards VET adopted by various stakeholders and making these accessible for the specialist debate. This article describes the development of this instrument, sets out sample results from the most recent survey wave and concludes by outlining prospects for the advancement of the topic radar.
