Description

The paper provides an insight into the process of developing the CEDEFOP Research Arena (CEDRA) as a new kind of research-oriented knowledge resource environment. CEDEFOP is the European Union agency for development of vocational education and training (VET) in the EU Member States and in the associated countries. The main questions are: 1) How to interpret the foundations of VET-related research as cornerstones for knowledge development? 2) How to interpret the significance of European research and development programmes for knowledge development in the field of VET? 3) How to interpret the role of ‘communities of practice’ within VET-related knowledge development?
