GreenVOCnet Project at Thessaloniki International Fair
EUKI project “GreenVOCnet – Vocational Empowerment for a Green and Socially Just Transition” is a project network led by FIAP e.V. (Germany) in collaboration with long-standing partners: the German-Hellenic Chamber of Industry and Commerce (Greece), Pedal Consulting (Slovakia), AICIA (Spain), and a broad network of enterprises and vocational schools. The GreenVOCnet team is pleased to announce the presentation of the project at the Thessaloniki International Fair (TIF) from 11 to 13 September.
We have exciting news from the Thessaloniki International Fair (TIF)!
The FIAP and our project partners from Greece, Spain, and Slovakia will be presenting the GreenVOCnet project at the fair. We are delighted to announce that on 11 September, the project will be showcased on the main stage as part of the EUKI Academy Session.
And there’s more to come:
On 12 September, we will be holding a GreenVOCnet workshop in the Leipzig conference room at the German Pavilion. The agenda includes presentations regarding the general GreenVOCnet project, European VET concepts for green hydrogen and heat pumps, and how to use AI to adapt the curriculum to suit regional needs. A roundtable discussion will explore the significant potential of vocational training as a driving force in regional, national, and international transition processes, with representatives from GIZ, DYPA, and partners from all participating countries.
A second, more in-depth workshop will be held on 13 September and will cover detailed results of the GreenVOCnet survey on green technologies. These results will form the basis for the development of new umbrella training programmes for heat pumps in combination with renewable energies and green hydrogen. We’ll also be presenting the concept of the corresponding MOOC courses and discussing the AI-supported adaptation of the courses to local networks and target groups.
The FIAP will also be launching the new printed edition of its publication series, “Transition” (Issue 1/2024), at the fair. Among the featured articles is one on the GreenVOCnet survey, which highlights transnational collaboration to advance the hydrogen economy and the vital impetus for skills development and vocational education and training. For those who prefer to read on the go, the digital version of the publication is already available here.
