The European Commission has launched a call for proposals (EAC/06/09) for actions to develop and implement the European Qualifications Framework (EQF), including national and sectoral qualifications frameworks.

Activities could include, for example:

• surveys and research in the chosen field to identify issues, challenges and barriers;
• workshops and seminars to examine the challenges, and to propose solutions;
• establishing specialised working groups and networks to advance solutions
• drafting guidance and other information tools/manuals to assist experts and stakeholders in interpreting and applying the EQF;
• promoting awareness of the project's activities and disseminating results to relevant stakeholders.
