Practicalities & Registration

Participants & participation fee

Participants

The Forum on Vocational Excellence is an event for and by Centres of Vocational Excellence (both Erasmus CoVEs and national CoVE initiatives). So if you are working on one of the Erasmus Centres of Vocational Excellence, a national CoVE initiative (like the French Campus des Metiers et Qualifications, the Dutch public-private-partnerships, the Norwegian Centres of Excellence, etc), or if you are working in the field of VET as a policy maker, we would love to welcome you in Lyon.

Important notice: However, since the number of participants is limited and we want to offer a good mix in terms of countries, projects and typology of participants, you will receive a confirmation of your participation within 5 working days after registering. It could be that you are placed on a waiting list, therefore we ask you to wait booking your travel arrangements until after receiving confirmation. Please note that this email could end up in your spam folder, so please check this folder in case you have not received an email after 5 working days.

Participation fee

There is no participation fee to join the Forum on Vocational Excellence. However, you will have to cover your own travel expenses and accommodation.

After receiving confirmation of your participation in the Forum, you can start booking your accommodation and make your travel arrangements. We have made special arrangements with a number of hotels for the Forum participants to book their accommodation for a reduced rate. In the confirmation e-mail you will find a link to the platform of our WorldSkills partners, which you can use to book a room using this reduced rate. Please note that this offer is valid until the 5th of May.

Travel Green

Since Lyon is very well accessible by train, we encourage all participants of the Forum to travel as green as possible. You can use www.trainline.com to look for travel options.

Venue

The Forum on Vocational Excellence will be held at the Eurexpo in Lyon, the same venue as the WorldSkills Finals 2024.
