Core offering

CEVEU is a Danish national knowledge center that conducts research on vocational education and training (VET) and disseminates evidence-based knowledge to vocational schools, companies, and policymakers. It produces publications, hosts webinars and podcasts, runs a 'CEVEU to-go' knowledge service, and organizes an annual conference to share research findings with stakeholders across the Danish vocational education sector.

Product overview

CEVEU is a research consortium focused on vocational education (erhvervsuddannelser) in Denmark, consisting of three core offerings: (1) Research projects - conducting studies on workplace learning, youth in vocational education, transitions between school and training, teacher competencies, and leadership; (2) Knowledge dissemination - delivering findings through reports, publications, webinars, podcasts, conferences, and the CEVEU to-go consulting service; and (3) Network activities - hosting annual conferences, workshops, and maintaining a newsletter. The organization functions as a knowledge center rather than a software product company, producing research-based knowledge for schools, companies, and policymakers.

Direct peers

• Nationalt Center for Erhvervspædagogik (NCE): The host-institution research center at Københavns Professionshøjskole that actually leads CEVEU's workplace-learning and teacher-competency research projects. Directly comparable as a Danish vocational pedagogy research and knowledge-dissemination unit operating under the same CEVEU umbrella.
• Center for Ungdomsforskning (CeFU): CEVEU consortium partner at Aalborg Universitet, a research center focused on youth transitions and vocational education experiences. Produces comparable longitudinal research (e.g., the 2009-2024 EUD motivation study) and podcasts targeting the same vocational student population.
• Tænketanken DEA: CEVEU consortium partner and Danish think tank focused on education, labor market, and apprenticeship quality. Operates the same research/policy/knowledge-dissemination model targeting Danish vocational education stakeholders and policymakers.

Others

• UNESCO-UNEVOC International Centre: International centre for technical and vocational education and training, focused on knowledge dissemination, research, and capacity building. An enabling/comparative institution in the same vocational-education-research-and-knowledge-transfer space, though operating globally rather than as a single-country research consortium.
• Aalborg Universitet: CEVEU consortium partner hosting Center for Ungdomsforskning. A Danish research university whose education and youth research capabilities feed directly into CEVEU's research outputs, providing the academic backbone for several CEVEU research projects.
• Københavns Professionshøjskole (KP): CEVEU's host institution and one of Denmark's largest university colleges, providing institutional governance and infrastructure for CEVEU. Comparable as a Danish higher-education provider whose research and professional development functions include vocational education, though at much broader scope.

Broad incumbents

• BIBB (Bundesinstitut für Berufsbildung): Germany's federal institute for vocational education and training, conducting research and policy advice on apprenticeships and vocational training at a national scale. The closest large-scale international analog to CEVEU's mandate of producing practice-oriented vocational education research for policy and practitioner use.
• Cedefop (European Centre for Vocational Education and Training): EU agency providing research, policy advice, and knowledge dissemination on vocational education and training across member states. Operates at a supranational level on the same core mandate (vocational education research, apprenticeship quality, transitions) that CEVEU addresses at the Danish national level.
• Danmarks Evalueringsinstitut (EVA): Denmark's national evaluation institute for education, conducting evaluations and analyses across primary, secondary, and vocational education. Comparable as a publicly funded Danish education research and evaluation body producing evidence for policymakers, though with broader scope than CEVEU.
• Danmarks Institut for Pædagogik og Uddannelse (DPU): Aarhus University's education research institute and CEVEU consortium partner. A broader education-research incumbent whose pedagogy and education research capabilities overlap with CEVEU's teacher-competency and vocational-education scope, but operates at a wider scale across all education levels.
