Prof. Dr. Hubert Ertl,  Deputy President and Head of Research at the Federal Institute for Vocational Education and Training (BIBB).

Following the new cooperation agreement signed in April between Céreq and Bibb, representatives of the two organisations met at the Céreq premises in Marseille for two days on October 15 and 16, 2019. After presenting their works and ongoing projects, the two organisations discussed the possibility of finding a framework for joint researches between the two institutes.

Meeting conclusions

Following the above discussion, a strong preference has been accorded to the idea to keep different projects separated and developed in parallel and it has been decided to not go with the submission of a unique project in ANR/DFG bid.

For so, future plans are articulated in 4 different activities:

1.            Report on changes and trends of the logistic sector in Germany and France. Robert Helmrich and Anke Mönnig proposed to carry out a specific study ready for April 2020.

2.            Keep continuing the Céreq work on readjustment of value chains and impact of digitization in logistics. Preliminary fieldwork in France will be completed and some articles and reports will be prepared. In parallel the idea for the comparative study with Germany will be maintained but in the framework of a larger partnership involving academic researchers both in France and Germany (BIBB contacts would help in that sense). A sponsorship would be equally necessary on order to finance research field (necessary to keep continuing monitor possible options).

3.            A specific working group on mutual development of big data analysis techniques should be created for methodological exchange and discussion by bringing together BIBB and Céreq people working on the field.

4.            Franco-German comparative study on modalities of VET contents definition modes of governance, role of the “professionals”. 

The group agrees to maintain the idea to have two meetings per year, indicatively in April and October. Following the rule of the alternance the next meeting should take place in Bonn. In alternative it was put forward the idea to meet us at half-way, a possible option could be Dijon in April 2020 (involving Céreq associated center IREDU).
