In the European scenario of community care, informal care givers - volunteers or family - are key players in the new welfare.
There is an important difference between European countries in relation to the balance of formal care (provided by paid staff) and informal care (largely paid by the family). However, the contribution of informal care givers is everywhere essential and it is therefore necessary to put in place effective measures to support them. More...

MODERN intends to increase the ability and motivation of teachers and trainers to use digital learning resources as a means to more effective, relevant teaching, thereby causing a positive impact in their students (learning outcomes and engagement) and in the sector as a whole (ability to provide relevant training, keep pace with the technological changes taking place around them.)

Social inequality is growing in Europe. It is urgent to adopt research-based policies providing guidance in shaping the transition towards a just, socially inclusive society.
European Union’s future is increasingly depending on the young generations, who have to cope with the responsibility of an aging population.

The title, TANDEM, intends to emphasize the synchrony and efficiency of business, VET and HE actors by acting together for high quality VET aligned with regional and global labour market demands to proactively respond to emerging skills shortages.
