Editorial

For the first time in many years, VETNET publishes a collection of short papers in an edited book of proceedings, which is available online and as a printed version. VETNET has had a long tradition in making ECER presentations and full papers open to a broader public. So, what’s the purpose of having “a real book”? We see it as an opportunity for VETNET to increase the visibility of current research in vocational education and training – and as an opportunity for its researchers to talk about planned, ongoing and finalised pieces of work. VETNET lives, if knowledge is shared, discussed and challenged by others. The people involved are ready to cross boundaries in their theoretical and methodological thinking and acting. Papers included in the 2018 VETNET proceedings are based on double-blind peer-reviewed abstracts that were accepted for presentation at the European Conference on Educational Research ECER in Bolzano / Bozen.
