O7 : UPPScience Policy Recommendations

This activity involves the drawing up of recommendations to an audience that includes, teachers and trainers in VET, policy and decision makers in VET, Industry and SME's and players in VET schools in general.

It includes the collation of reactions from the partnership and from members of the UPPScience Community of Practice in order that the recommendations may be based at least in part on persons from within the community.

Recommendations will be directed at the value and benefit of having creativity and learning communities as parts of teacher education and the way forward for a closer and more constructive relationship between VET and industry, as a vehicle for better employment opportunities for individuals who grow together in communities of practice.

The leader of the effort to develop and deliver this IO will be NTNU drawing on the result of IO5 and on the reactions of all the partnership to the UPPScience experience. It will be supported by VisMedNet as leader of the IO2 and IO6, CEEI Burgos on the aspect of the engagement of industry, by Akdeniz and ValIda as key players in the development of IO1 and IPP as leader of IO5.
