Practicalities & Registration

Participants & participation fee

Participants

The Forum on Vocational Excellence is an event for and by Centres of Vocational Excellence (both Erasmus CoVEs and national CoVE initiatives). So if you are working on one of the Erasmus Centres of Vocational Excellence, a national CoVE initiative (like the French Campus des Metiers et Qualifications, the Dutch public-private-partnerships, the Norwegian Centres of Excellence, etc), or if you are working in the field of VET as a policy maker, we would love to welcome you in Lyon.

Important notice: However, since the number of participants is limited and we want to offer a good mix in terms of countries, projects and typology of participants, you will receive a confirmation of your participation soon after registering. It could be that you are placed on a waiting list, therefore we ask you to wait booking your travel arrangements until after receiving confirmation. Please note that this email could end up in your spam folder, so please check this folder in case you have not received an email after 2 weeks.

Participation fee

There is no participation fee to join the Forum on Vocational Excellence. However, you will have to cover your own travel expenses and accommodation.

Registration

Registration for the Forum on Vocational Excellence is closed. Participants who received confirmation of their participation will receive an email with the final practical information by the end of August.

Accommodation

After receiving confirmation of your participation in the Forum, you can start booking your accommodation and make your travel arrangements.
