AIRinVET project partners met in Katapult premises in Utrecht on 27 and 28 September 2023.

Besides discussing the progress of all WorkPackages, we discussed the first findings of the mapping of Applied and Innovative Research within Vocational Education and Training. The AIRinVET Interviews are conducted to map the Applied and Innovative Research already taking place within VET Education. The Case studies are published to inspire institutions of VET education and SMEs who might be interested in collaborating in Applied and Innovative Research. They show us examples of how this collaboration looks, and what is possible.

The first discussion on the development of the Decision Tree started in a dedicated workshop. The Decision Tree is meant as a tool for VET institutions and SMEs, to help them discuss what could be needed to start cooperation including Applied and Innovative Research, and once finished it will be published on the project website.
Next to that, all partners were involved in a session about the Four Dimensions Model of Katapult, facilitated by Yorrick van Bree, Katapult. The 4 dimensions that need to be taken into account when cooperating in Public Private Partnerships, doing Applied and Innovative Research together, are:

• Activities and Offer
• Market
• Business
• People, Partners, and Organization
