The "International Vocational Education and Training Research" series offers a place for publications by researchers from the fields of vocational education and training research, comparative education, sociology, political science and economics. The editors represent a broad focus that perceives vocational education and training as a cross-cultural, cross-life-phase, cross-domain and cross-institutional phenomenon. The common intersection as well as the challenge consists in clarifying the interactions between work, education and society. In line with this orientation, the thematic potential encompasses the spectrum from micro-research (e.g. teaching research) to macro-research (e.g. education transfer) and from highly formalised and institutionalised educational offers (e.g. school-based vocational training) to informal work-related educational offers (e.g. learning in the work process). The monographs and anthologies of the series are published in German or English.
