The project aims to develop the EAV. During the ESF 2007-2013 programming, the VAE-Universities Project had implemented EAV within universities and harmonised accompanying practices. The VAE 2020 project aims to move beyond this stage for wider development. Involving universities and ARES, the VAE 2020 project will carry out support activities, follow-up of VAE applicants, development of the VAE and training of VAE attendants. With a view to broadening the reach of the public, this project will promote EAV to the following recipients: Adults, Public Sector, Private Sector, Public Authorities and Academics and Socio-Professional Integration Sector, will establish synergies between higher education actors. These actions will aim to sustain VAE’s activity and support its development.
