Since 2008 Isabelle Le Mouillour has been a researcher at Cedefop. She deals mainly with credit systems in education and training as well as qualifications frameworks. Her growing concern is the relationships between Vocational Education and Training and Higher Education, reflecting about opportunities for transition and recognition. She has been involved since 2003 in the development at European level of the European Credit System for Vocational Education and Training (ECVET) and currently member of the ECVET working group for Cedefop. Before joining Cedefop, she worked in the European Research and Policy Department of Federal Institute for Vocational Education and Training (Bonn, Germany) and at the Centre for Research on Higher Education (University of Kassel, Germany) on European policy both in VET and HE, as well as evaluation of ERASMUS.
