The BGZ is a non-profit organisation and receives institutional support from the State of Berlin. Since 1983 it has been coordinating international cooperation projects with partners from business and the state, initiated the transnational exchange of good practice, transfer and implementation in Berlin. In the project “Learning e-Mobility Plus“, the BGZ is responsible for the management of the strategic partnership. This includes the planning, coordination of implementation, monitoring and controlling, including quality assurance, compilation of reports, as well as the management of funds. Furthermore, it is responsible for the dissemination of project results and publicity work.

The Guild of the Motor Vehicle Trade Berlin represents the interests of the Berlin motor vehicle trade and has over 450 companies as members, from the areas of motor vehicle trade and trading. For the project “Learning e-Mobility Plus“, the Guild takes on the lead for the production of new learning materials and for the implementation of tests with apprentices and their documentation. In addition, it is organising and leading various thematic expert workshops on supporting consultation of the elaboration of new learning concepts of the learning environment. In close cooperation with the HTW Berlin, it is developing a new learning model on electromobility in Berlin on power splits in hybrid drives.

The Berlin School of Technology and Economics (HTW) is, with around 13,000 students, Berlin’s biggest university of applied sciences. The HTW supports economic development in the region with research and transfer of knowledge, and makes an important contribution to the development of quality in teaching. The University has extensive expertise in the areas of vehicle technology, eletrotechnology and mechatronics. Thanks to this networking and its own research projects, concentrated knowledge on traditional and modern vehicle technical topics exists, which is tied to the course of study. The HTW brings this knowledge in for the production of new learning materials and learning model in our project.

The vocational training centre Insituto San Gaetano has been active in vocational training in various occupational fields since 1978. For 30 years, young people aged between 14 and 18 have been trained in the area of motor vehicle technology. The apprenticeship focuses on didactical and technological innovations. Through close cooperation with local companies, the engine learning model and the learning concepts with focus on “Gears and differences in the performance of engines” are developed and tested in the centre with learners.

The trade association Confartigianato Vicenza is a non-profit organisation and the biggest provincial association within Italy. Founded in 1945 as a pioneer of business development, it now represents the interests of 20,000 SME as members in the area of Vicenza from 34 economic sectors. Confartigianato Vicanza has extensive know-how in the areas of green economy, innovation and sustainable mobility. Local companies are involved in the production of the learning model and teaching materials. Thanks to its international contacts, the transfer of good practice and dissemination of project results is supported.

Eurocultura has been applying itself to the issue of international mobility since 1995 and has applied an innovative approach in the consultation of people who want to work, study, do an internship or voluntary service abroad. Thanks to its great experience in European educational cooperation projects with chambers, companies and vocational training institutions, Eurocultura is co-developing the apprentices and students’ teaching system module. In the process, examples of good practice in the motor vehicle sector are identified and implemented with help from the regional and Italian-wide networks, amongst other things. Eurocultura contributes to the dissemination of results over the entire course of the project, with its extensive publicity work and media contacts.

The ZSS vocational training centre in Poznan, founded in 1946, is one of the oldest vocational schools in Poland, which offers apprenticeships and further training. The centre trains motor vehicle technicians, mechatronic technicians and electrical engineers, but also trains in the area of IT. The ZSS cooperates with institutions in other EU countries and in this context also participates in various EU projects. The ZSS functions in the project as the national coordinator in Poland. In close cooperation with the technical university – PUT and the HWK Poznan, it is producing learning materials, developing learning models for the changeover from the conventional to electric drives. Furthermore, it is carrying out tests to trial new learning concepts and participating in the elaboration of the good practice catalogue.

The Greater Poland Chamber of Commerce (HWK) in Poznan was founded in 1919 and today incorporates 45 guilds and 11 trade associations in the region, which 7000 companies belong to. The Chamber is responsible for apprenticeships and further training of 13,700 learners in the region. The Chamber has cooperated with various partners abroad for many years and carries out national and international projects with them. The knowledge available is used for current project research and analyses, and to develop the new apprenticeship opportunities, and brought in to the development of the learning modules. The HWK’s wide network assures the sustainable use of project results.

The Technical University Poznan (PUT) came from the state University for Mechanical Engineering. As one of Poland’s leading technical universities, with 20,000 students and 1200 academic staff, it fosters cooperation with European partners, including universities in Berlin. PUT experts bring their extensive experience from areas of electrotechnology, car technology and electromobility for the benefit of the development of innovative learning models. As part of the project, the PUT Poznan is organising thematic expert workshops on the topic of electromobility and supports the exchange of experience between academia and vocational training to assure the quality of project results – intellectual outputs.
