Setting the European VET Research Agenda
The so-called Lisbon Process has raised questions about the role of vocational education and training (VET) in furthering Europe's social and economic goals. The recently completed "Maastricht study" is a comprehensive review of the state of play of VET in Europe. Two of the authors of this report, Tom Leney (QCA, UK) and Anneke Westerhuis (CINOP, NL) will launch a discussion on the implications of this study for setting the European VET research agenda.

c) How can these issues be linked to the discussion on future European VET research agendas?
