- The organisation who manages, leads, organises or prepares the curriculum/course
- A short description
- The country of the organisation delivering the curriculum/course
- In which language the course/curriculum is delivered
- Relevant keywords to identify it (Bio-economy, Business as usual, Digitalisation, Entrepreneurship, Soft skills, Sustainability)
- Kind of course (workshop; training course; master’s degree; high educational school; PhD; secondary school; summer school; seminar; bachelor)
- The professional profile and skills related (the professional profile after completing the training)
- Online option
- Type of training “initial/continuous” (an “initial training” is a training required prior to beginning a specific work, to start a specific career; a “continuous training” is the ongoing process of developing, maintaining and documenting your professional skills, through courses or training)
- Length (in hours, days, weeks or years)
- EQF level
- Credits
- Certification (type of certification is awarded to trainees, if any)
- Quality mechanisms in place in line with EQAVET framework
- URL
- Relevance (A for high relevance, B for medium relevance, C for low relevance)
- Data (when the information has been introduced in the database
Projects
The projects database provides information on the state of the art of the European projects with reference of agriculture, forest and related sectors (Bio-economy, Digitalisation, Soft skills and Sustainability).
For each project the following information is provided:
- The title of the project
- Name of the VET College/Organisation
- Brief description of the project
- The country in which the project is held
- Keywords
- A link to the website of the project
- The data of the last visit to the main page of the project
- Project program, indicates what type of the project is (e.g. National, European, Horizon2020, Erasmus+, etc.)
- Any relevant document such as leaflet, brochure, presentation, etc,
Best Practice
The best practices database provides information of successes in the project areas: sustainability, digitalisation, bio-economy, soft-skills, new technologies and training in agriculture, forestry and related sectors (agri-food and forest-based industries).
Even successful experiences on dissemination. Realistic and feasible things, such as:
- Application of technologies: precision agriculture, renewable energy production in farms, by-products valorisation, etc.
- Training: successful experiences on how to approach farmers and carry out training, VET colleges successful experiences and innovative approaches, tools to use in training, successful blended learning experiences (“how to” and content), etc.
- Business-entrepreneurship: successful examples of new business models
For each project the following information is provided:
- The title of the project
- Name of the VET College/Organisation
- Brief description of the project
- The country in which the project is held
- Keywords
- A link to the website of the project;
- The data of the last visit to the main page of the project.
- Any relevant document such as leaflet, brochure, presentation, etc,
Regulatory frameworks
The regulatory framework is studied to make sure that the strategy can be implemented locally.
To ensure that the results of the project will continue to be used after its completion, its sustainability will be sought through the:
- implementation of an exploitation plan;
- creation of a project governance;
- research of alternative sources of funding.
This database aims at preparing the roll-out of project deliverables at national and regional levels with the relevant governmental and sectoral authorities.
The Regulatory Framework deliverable intends to collect existing information on specific legislation for training, as well as other legislation that will be considered relevant to the main areas of impact of the project (sustainability, digitalization and the bioeconomy in agriculture), taking into account the foreseeable future needs for skills in these areas.
A database for the Regulatory Frameworks was created in the FIELDS platform
FUNDING OPPORTUNITIES
In this task partners studied and listed the funding opportunities available to support the skills strategies and the future use of FIELDS’ outputs.
Two levels were studied (regional/national and EU levels), each partner will list the regional and national funding opportunities using the EU tender portal and the local authorities’ materials.
The following partners will be responsible for each country:
- Austria: LVA and AP
- France: ACTIA, AC3A
- Germany: UHOH
- Greece: GAIA, SEVT, and CERTH
- Ireland: ICOS
- Italy: CONFAGRI and INFOR
- Netherlands: WUR and AERES
- Portugal: Confagri PT
- Spain: FIAB, SCOOP
- Slovenia: GZS-ZKZP
