The “e4 VET Community Portal” consortium presents a balanced mixture of long-term EU members and New Member States. The composition of the consortium is in line with the project’s aim to strengthen the integration of ICT research effort in the area of VET. Most of the institutions working under this initiative have already worked under successful joint initiatives and have established relations of collaboration, respect and openness. The project topic is very close to their present fields of interest − all partners are experienced or with e-learning, developing training e-courses, developing e-learning materials, evaluating the project results and have the necessary potential and resources for elaborating high quality tools and systems and the possibility and will to implement them in practice.

The partnership structure is based on partners ensuring: high technology e-learning infrastructure achievements (Jožef Stefan Institute, WiedzaNet, Nevron) didactical, methodological and evaluation findings in e-learning (University of Leeds, University of Maribor), the network of recipients of innovations (CPI and its TTnet), and pilot training and on-going valorisation of project outcomes (Secondary Trade and Commercial School and Tecnical School Centre Nova Gorica).
