3s is a partner in the OBSERVAL network coordinated by EUCEN, the European University Continuing Education Network. This project’s main objective was to create a database on validation of non-formal and informal learning in European countries, which are regularly updated and accessible via Internet.
The project aimed to support the successful implementation and application of qualifications frameworks at sectoral, national and European levels by developing scenarios and describing both favorable conditions as well as obstacles.
The ESO-CRS project sought to create a scalable, computer-based method, based on the results of two former projects (ESO-CSA, CEMES), that should be able to support and administer certification and recognition processes.
The project sought to improve the learning outcomes orientation in curricula, qualification profiles, didactic concepts and assessment methods.
As a Transfer of Innovation project, ExPerO2EU was based on the results of the ExPerO and VQTS projects.

Work-based learning (WBL) is a key issue in vocational education and training (VET) throughout Europe. Different VET systems and different WBL approaches limit the transfer of good WBL practices. The project identified not only examples of good practice, but also tested the success of transfer criteria used by operational partners (VET-providers).
Along with 3s, nine additional VETAS project partners from six European countries seeked to set up a European-wide framework of VET stakeholders in the automotive sector.
