The VET4DATACOOPERATION project is built on a consortium of six organisations from Germany, Austria, Slovakia and North Macedonia. Each partner brings a distinct and complementary type of expertise from data space architecture and eLearning technology to SME development and industry networking. Together, they form a partnership designed to address a single challenge: making trusted data cooperation accessible and actionable for European manufacturing companies and VET institutions.
The project spans five work packages, each led by a different partner, ensuring that tasks are distributed according to where the relevant expertise sits. What follows is an introduction to the organisations behind the work.

Within VET4DATACOOPERATION, MEDF led the Needs Analysis to identify the skills gaps and training priorities shaping the entire curriculum. The team continues to co-develop training content, contribute good practice examples and organise awareness and multiplier events targeting manufacturing stakeholders in North Macedonia and the wider region.
A partnership built to deliver
Each of the six partners holds a defined leadership role, while contributing across multiple work packages. INI-Novation coordinates, EIT Manufacturing East communicates, deltaDAO provides technical grounding, Scheer IMC ensures learning quality and scalability, IIC generates knowledge resources and MEDF connects the project to the SME community it is ultimately designed to serve.
The full training programme of five interactive modules available in English, German, Slovak and Macedonian will be openly accessible to manufacturing professionals and VET providers across Europe.
