SEED

SEED (Sustainable Energy EDucation) is a CoVE (Centres of Vocational Excellence) program. It is an initiative to establish transnational Platforms with the support of the Erasmus+ program aiming to find solutions so Europe to become a fossil free energy continent through education and research. The need for that was born from the continuous worsening of weather phenomena resulting from climate change as well as the lack of well-equipped students, professionals and suitable labor capacity that is essential to change the tides and become prepared for the upcoming demanding years. Vocational education, as a driver for innovation and growth and agile in adapting to the labor market, has a heavy responsibility. Innovative, smart, digital and green ideas need to be developed in order to prevent the climate change, and the right time is now. Solutions are not yet clear and technologies are constantly evolving, so the overall environment is surrounded by an uncertainty, but every change should start with a well calculated leap of faith. And that program brings to the table the start of a well calculated solution. There are 14 SEED partners selected based on their range of expertise, skills, and experience in VET as well as in industry & with governmental organisations, to contribute with innovative approaches to regional skills ecosystem development on sustainable energy & excellent vocational education. In addition to them, there are also 24 associated partners, companies & organisations that provide reflection, tools, expertise, and a dissemination channel. Funded by the European Union.
