Socio-economic Research

Education and Training Project Clusters

The Fourth and the Fifth EU Framework Programmes (FP4 and FP5) funded more than 55 research projects and thematic networks that address directly issues of Education and Training. Briefing papers summarising the results of individual projects can be found at: http://www.pjb.co.uk/npl/index.htm.

In addition to individual projects, a number of project clusters were created in this area as a mechanism for getting the best results out of groups of projects on key themes, as well as obtaining other lessons for doing European-level research, which go well beyond the impact of individual projects.
