Mapping of the EuroTeQ Qualification Framework (EQF)

D4.1 is part of the work package 4, Professional. It is the first deliverable of this work package. Its results contribute to a better understanding and comparability of the national training systems. The EQF and the national qualification framework evaluation pave the way for understanding our study programs better and to contribute to defining competencies profiles of the future-proof engineer. The mapping exercise is also the basis for exploring how lifelong learning efforts cope with the EQF systematic during the work package activities.

Target: Within this activity, we will map the different professions under the European Qualifications Framework (EQF) to compare and to evaluate them together with our local associated partners. We plan to assess how close these frameworks are to the ever-changing daily working environments in the Partner Universities' respective national frameworks, which graduates will enter after completing their university education. 

How to get there: The European Qualifications Framework (EQF) is a vital tool to help understand different national training and education systems and compare them in a European context. We will take the EQF as a basis for mapping the different systems in our Partners' countries. This will be the first step of comparing the systems and evaluating the differences. We hope that the reflections on the EQF can create impulses for further development and to make the EQF future-proof. Furthermore, we want to explore how lifelong learning efforts cope with the EQF systematic.
