Peer learning

More than 100 institutions are engaged in peer learning within the BILT project. Explore the wheel to find your match!

This interactive wheel maps institutions to their area of expertise (identification, integration, or implementation of new qualifications and competencies), and to their theme of engagement within the BILT project: digitalization, entrepreneurship, greening, migration, or new qualifications and competencies. Discover potential partners for collaboration by exploring the areas in which institutions are ready to share their experience or what they would like to learn more about. Click on the dots to get more information about each institution or use the filters at the top. The visualization is evolving as new partners engage with the project.
