5th Project Meeting and Gathering at MTC

The 5th AILEEN Project Meeting successfully took place in Coventry, UK, on October 8th and 9th, hosted by our partner MTC - Manufacturing Technology Centre.

The two-day meeting convened AILEEN consortium partners from all participating European countries. The primary focus was a strategic review of milestones and planning for the long-term sustainability of the project's results.

The meeting served as a critical review point for Month 29, where partners celebrated several achievements:
• CoVE Network: Six Centres of Vocational Excellence (CoVEs) were officially nominated.
• Curriculum Development: Twenty-two Competence Units (CUs) were formally validated.
• Skills Competitions: Successful completion of the National and European Inspection Leagues.

Moreover, the meeting agenda covered future strategic activities, including:
• Sustainability Planning: Strategizing the long-term survival of project results and planning for the launch of CoVEs Phase 2.
• Business Model: Brainstorming and drafting the Business Model for the sustainable network of CoVEs.
• Ecosystem Implementation: Deep diving into future training and cooperation activities, along with reviewing the Recognition and Nomination Methodology for improvements.

Next meeting is planned for April 2026 in Turkey.
