Partners from eight countries — Spain, Portugal, France, Italy, Belgium, Luxembourg, Romania and Greece — gathered to review progress, align on next steps and reinforce a shared commitment to improving vocational education and training in the livestock sector.

Moving Forward: From Analysis to Development
With these key milestones achieved, the project now enters a new and exciting phase. The focus will shift towards the development of:
- A digital platform tailored to the needs of the sector

A Shared Vision for the Future
Beyond the technical progress, the meeting highlighted the strong collaboration and shared vision among all partners. LIVECOVET continues to move forward with a clear objective: to support more sustainable, innovative and future-ready training for the livestock sector.
