LLLP is partner in the Bridge project (2023-2025)
The BRiDGE project supports the European Union aim to bridge the gap between research and policy. To be effective, education policy research and development needs to be supported by collaboration and critical reflection. The project will address existing gaps between the knowledge and expertise of Higher Education institution-based researchers, practitioners in civil society organisations, and policy-makers, that prevent the effective connection of evidence with policy- making.
The project brings together a collaborative pan-European professional learning community to support development of competences for policy research.

LLLP is partner in the ERASMUS CAREERS project (2022-2025)
Erasmus Careers is a three-year long project which seeks to translate the lessons learned during Erasmus+ student mobility into competences, and ensure that competencies gained during student mobility are acknowledged and appreciated on the job, by three target groups: students (or Erasmus+ participants), employers, and higher education institutes. By developing guidelines and publications, a digital self-learning tool, staff trainings, and activities on the topic of employment, the project ultimately aims to establish that competences gained on mobility contribute to the career prospects of Erasmus+ participants.

LLLP is partner in the TRANSVAL-EU project (2021-2023)
The project “Validation of transversal skills across Europe – TRANSVAL-EU” is based on a paradox. On the one hand, employers place an increasing importance on transversal skills. Yet, on the other hand, transversal skills are only an implicit part of the existing validation and guidance processes. There is a need to make the validation processes of transversal skills acquired in non-formal and informal settings explicit and to embed the lessons learned in validation and guidance policies. What TRANSVAL-EU proposes is to experiment innovative approaches for the validation of transversal skills acquired through non-formal and informal learning (VNFIL) in five pilot countries – Austria, Italy, Lithuania, Poland and Belgium.
