Counselling and InformationThe National Europass Centre (NEC) is the first place you should turn to for information on all Europass documents. One of its top priorities is to be proactive in providing information on the new Europass to any individuals or organisations with questions on it. In other words, one of the NEC’s main tasks and concerns is to help to forge networks of relevant national authorities and institutions. So do not hesitate to contact us!
Public RelationsThe public is to be informed about the individual Europass documents through special events and publications. This web site is an initial step in carrying out this objective. Other activities will follow shortly.
We invite you to attend our Europass Seminars as well as other specific events. For details, please check the relevant web sections.
NetworkingAt the national level, the National Europass Centre will strive to strengthen cooperation among all organisations and institutions relevant to the use and dissemination of the Europass. These efforts are aimed in particular at the interfaces between education and business (educational authorities, social partners and companies.) The Austrian Europass Advisory Council has been set up as the national steering body for this Initiative and contains representatives from all these sectors.
Internationally, the Austrian NEC cooperates closely with the  Europass Centres of all other Europass countries and with the European Commission.
Coordination and AdministrationThe Europass Centre is the central executive body for the Europass in Austria. According to Article 11 of the Europass Decision, it is also in charge of coordinating all sectors relevant to the Europass and its documents. This duty includes, inter alia:
Europass Advisory CouncilAustria set up a national Europass Advisory Council to serve as a national steering body. It will assure that the Europass is aligned effectively in a political and strategic sense. The Advisory Council is called upon to aid in political decision-making and in the issuing of guidelines for the operational implementation of the Europass. It is made up of representatives from the Austrian federal ministries, the social partners, the chambers and the federal provinces as well as all other institutions, organisations and bodies relevant to the implementation and use of Europass.
