The webinar offered policy-makers, stakeholders, experts, researchers, and the wider public an opportunity to deepen their understanding of the evolution of National Qualifications Frameworks (NQFs), as well as of current trends across countries participating in the European Qualifications Framework (EQF) process. Cedefop presented the latest key findings from its research and analysis on NQFs, along with the new version of the NQF online tool.
When: 9 December 2025 - Time: 10.00-11.45 CET
For over 15 years, NQFs aligned with the EQF have been instrumental in promoting transparency, comparability and portability of qualifications across Europe.
The EU is currently strengthening its action to remain competitive. The Union of Skills initiative seeks to accelerate efforts to address skill shortages, promote lifelong learning, support recognition of qualifications across borders and value skills regardless of where and how they have been acquired.
In this context, the webinar explored:
- how countries make the best use of NQFs;
- how NQFs contribute to making qualifications easier to understand and skills more visible;
- the level of awareness and use of NQFs among learners, employees, jobseekers and companies;
- the potential of NQFs within the Union of Skills.
Based on the analysis of the latest NQF developments across the 41 countries participating in the EQF process, Cedefop presented and discussed emerging trends, success factors, challenges and future priorities in NQF implementation. The webinar also introduced the updated version of the NQF online tool. Discussions focused on NQF developments in specific EU Member States and candidate countries, as well as on EQF developments at EU level.
