Descriptors
 for mapping the contents of research resources in VET and HRD

The Research Monitor offers a simple set of terms for describing the contents of research resources which are related to vocational education and training (VET) and human resource development (HRD). These descriptors, arranged according to categories, are applied for mapping and analysing these resources. The 25 Monitor descriptors have been developed from an original set of 12 descriptors used for the European Research Overview as part of the CEDEFOP Research Arena [ERO descriptors].

An alternative tool for mapping VET and HRD resources are the Areas of research presented in the Monitor.

*) Descriptors to be applied only if the system as such is the objective of analysis.
