The European Management Centre is pleased to be partner in a new project under the Leonardo da Vinci Transfer of Innovation, funded by the European Commission. This project started in September 2009 and is called LQW - EU (Länderübergreifendes Qualitätsmanagement in der Weiterbildung im Europischen Kontext) and refers to the elaboration of a system for assessing quality in continuing and vocational training for adults with low skills. The project has a duration of two years. The LQW system is the leading model for assessing the quality of continuing training in Germany. Other partner organizations are Marktplan (Poland), ArtSet Qualitätstestierung GmbH (Germany) and the Kaunas University in Lithuania. The project relies on the successful innovative model for Germany: "system of quality assessment of further education" (LQW).

As a result, a country-specific partner model will be developed according to the LQW-system. It includes a set of support materials and assessment tools that can be adapted and used by the Bulgarian, Lithuanian and Polish project partners. The Organizations will be allocated an adequate partner for implementing the LQW-system by providing an appropriate license from the German partner. Based on this specific innovative European practice it will receive its application in other countries than Germany and Austria.

Building a regional network for CSR competencies


The United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) launched a regional project, through which it is possible to create local centers of Development Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) in Central and Eastern Europe.
The Ministry of Labor and Social Policy supported the nomination of European Management Centre as a local center for Bulgaria.
The newly established CSR standards (ISO 26000) caused many small, medium and large businesses to create and be actively involved in local and national social and environmental projects.
The project focuses on sustainable and continuous improvement of the socio-economic conditions and measures for environmental protection by supporting small and medium enterprises and business associations in accomplishing their activities in a responsible manner.
