Internationalisation of Research in Vocational Education and Training (IRN-VET) IRN IRN End Date: 2016
The IRN-VET raised awareness of the impact of research with its mapping activities, thematic ‘task forces’ and with IRN-VET events in the conferences of WERA and of ‘regional’ associations and networks. The IRN-VET supported the launch of the International Journal for Research in Vocational Education and Training (www.ijrvet.net) by the European VETNET network. IRN-VET also worked together with the VETNET to develop a Summer School for emerging researchers.
Concluding reflections on the activities and achievements 2014-2016 In the light of the above the IRN-VET network has completed the proposed activities and contributed to the building of an international research community in research on vocational education and training (VET): ●By launching (together with the European VETNET network) the international journal (IJRVET) the IRN-VET network has managed to create a common organ for the international VET research community. ● With the “Crossing Boundaries in VET” conference tradition the IRN-VET has created an important biennial forum that links up with ECER and WERA events. ● With the International VET Research Overview (the moodle application) the IRN-VET has created an instrument to follow the thematic diversity and progress of research themes within the international VET research community. ● Based on the above-mentioned key activities - and by analysing the engagement of international advisers in the Swedish PhD programme and in the affiliated 7 conference - the IRN-VET has built capacity to provide international support for PhD programmes and services for emerging researchers in the field of VET. ● With its engagement in WERA activities and exchanges with parallel IRNs the IRN-VET has developed its own style to work within WERA and with its ‘regional’ member associations and networks.
