ETRAP2005 intended to put forward a declaration with a special focus on certification, harmonisation and efficient organisation of education and training to the relevant national and European institutions, organisations and networks.
During the plenary session on Thursday 24 November 2005, participants focussed on the need for harmonisation of education and training practices and of skill recognition. The debate resulted in a conference declaration that was put forward to national and international policy makers at the end of the conference.
