On 21 March, 15 new Erasmus+ Centres of Vocational Excellence (CoVEs) from the 2023 call for proposals were launched. The sectors covered by the projects are diverse and within industrial ecosystems with high growth and innovation potential. Some of these sectors are already covered by previously selected CoVEs such as hydrogen technologies, offshore energy, climate-smart agriculture, construction and tourism. Synergies between CoVEs in similar sectors will be promoted. Other sectors are new to CoVEs but are of high policy relevance: biodiversity, 3D printing, social inclusion, battery sector and data centre education. Read this article about the new projects. 

The 2024 call for proposals to apply for CoVEs, with a budget of €56 million, is open until 7 May 2024.
