In 2025, the National Pedagogical Institute of the Czech Republic (NPI CR), home of the ReferNet Czechia team will welcome their colleagues and partners to the 2025 partnership forum organised jointly with Cedefop.

In this forum, ReferNet members will have the opportunity to discuss issues related to vocational education and training (VET), skills and qualifications, improve their knowledge by sharing information on recent developments in national policies and systems while at the same time hear and learn about the VET system of Czechia. The first of this year’s partnership forum will take place on 24 and 25 April in Prague, Czechia.

We warmly thank the National Pedagogical Institute of the Czech Republic (NPI CR) and the national ReferNet Czechia team for hosting the event.

ReferNet is a network of institutions across Europe representing the 27 Member States, plus Iceland and Norway. The network provides Cedefop with information and analysis on national vocational education and training, skills and qualifications. National partners also disseminate information on European VET and Cedefop’s work to stakeholders in the EU Member States, Iceland and Norway. ReferNet publications can be accessed through the ReferNet page on Cedefop’s website.

Take part in the discussions #ReferNet
