Knowledge Exchange Groups: Secondary education, Vocational Education and Higher Education

The Knowledge Exchange Groups (KEG) inspire each other and will spread their experiences more widely through their webpages on the NL Agency central website onderwijsonderneemt.nl. The groups were asked to comment on the subsiy schemes to come (especially in Higher Education through the Valorisation Programme)

About 50 projectleaders, policy makers and others involved exchanged experiences and ideas

The information shared between these project leaders involve: how to report to the NL Agency to make sure the subsidy is fully awarded. What problems are encountered in project development and implementation; and how to approach and solve those problems. What are the highlights of the project? Also in one of the meetings the overall achievements of the projects were shared through the presentation of a mid-term evaluation report. The mid-term evaluation was conducted by EIM, an external evaluator.

November 2009 and February 2010

The KEG was faclitated by an external organisation, except for the KEG in HE, which was facilitated by the NL Agency in cooperation with one of the centers of entrepreneurship. NL Agency provided the draft agenda, including items for discussion and questions for participants. Participants were asked to come up with their own priorities for sharing knowdledge.

Each project is described on the NL Agency website. The mid-term evaluation is also available on the website
