Lot1- Alliances for Education and Enterprises bring together enterprises and both higher education and vocational training providers to work together in partnership. Operating within one economic sector or several different economic sectors, they create reliable and sustainable relations and demonstrate their innovative and transnational character in all aspects. While each partnership must include at least one VET and one higher education organisation, they can address either both or one of these educational fields.

They intend to achieve one or more of the following aims:

• Fostering new, innovative and multidisciplinary approaches to teaching and learning: fostering innovation in education design and delivery, teaching methods, assessment techniques, learning environments and/or developing new skills.
•  Fostering corporate social responsibility (e.g. equity, inclusion, climate change, environmental protection and sustainable development).
• Stimulating a sense of initiative and entrepreneurial attitudes, mind-sets and skills in learners, educational staff and other workers, in line with the Entrepreneurship Competence.
• Improving the quality and relevance of skills developed and certified through education and training systems (including new skills and tackling skills mismatches).
• Facilitating the flow and co-creation of knowledge between higher education and vocational education and training, research, the public sector and the business sector.
• Building and supporting effective and efficient higher education and vocational education and training systems, which are connected and inclusive, and contribute to innovation.
