The Refernet Webinar 2025.8 on 9 September 2025 will inform the partners about the purpose, scope and procedure of policy reporting 2025 (Deliverable 1a).

During the webinar, Cedefop experts and partner representatives will present the main points of the 2025 Circular and detail the actions that are needed to perform the policy reporting exercise effectively.

The partners are invited to prepare and ask specific questions and share their experience in preparing the information and filling the data in the reporting tool.

The information collected on policy developments is presented in the Timeline of VET policies in Europe.
