Applied Research in Vocational education & training - VET perspective

Welcome

Hello and thank you for taking time to fill out this questionnaire!

In the frame of the Erasmus+ co-funded project AIRinVET, we are interested in understanding the (potential) applied research and innovation activities undertaken by VET institutions for companies. When referring to "VET institutions," we are encompassing all educational institutions that provide professional vocational education and training. It is important to note that the terminology and specific names of such institutions may vary across different countries and regions. These institutions could be known as technical institutes, trade schools, polytechnics, vocational schools, community colleges, or any other relevant local designation.

Regardless of the specific name, we are interested in gathering insights about the applied research and innovation activities undertaken by these institutions for companies, as well as understanding the barriers and enablers associated with these activities. By "applied research and innovation activities" we mean the practical and systematic approach to solve real-world problems and improve existing technologies or processes.

Your participation is highly valuable to us, as it will contribute to a better understanding of the current landscape and potential opportunities for collaboration.

Please take 8-10 minutes to respond to the following questions. For your convenience, the questionnaire is available in English, Dutch, Spanish and German. You can switch the language in the upper right corner.
Your responses will be kept strictly confidential and used for research purposes only.

Thank you for your contribution!
