The PRIME project, led by RCN Pluryn in the Netherlands, started in November 2011 and will run until the end of 2013. The PRIME project, short for PRoject for IMplementation of Equavet, is funded under the Lifelong Learning Programme of the DG Education and Culture of the European Commission.It is a Leonardo da Vinci Transfer of Innovation Action project.
The project aims to use EQUASS as a tool for the implementation on the EQAVET framework for quality in the provision of Vocational Education and Training (VET) in Europe. The project's first phase involves cross-referencing the EQUASS and EQAVET principles and frameworks, identifying discrepancies, and providing the necessary adaptations.
