METALOG – Metraframework for Logistics

In previous projects foundations were laid for improved, more transparent, more innovative qualifications and training in the sector. The METALOG project aims at concerting and transferring efforts hitherto undertaken by various European logistics projects and initiatives and to consolidate and broaden existing networks and partnerships in the sector.

The consolidation and sustainable transfer of previous outcomes of European logistics projects will be supported by the development of a Qualifications Framework for the logistics sector (LQF) and activities towards the long-term establishment of a “European Logistics Skills Network."

The Qualifications Framework will be developed by using previously developed approaches for the establishment of sectoral qualifications frameworks developed in the projects CarEasyVET, MatchingFrames and NQF-SQF and transferring and using outcomes such as sector surveys and analyses as well as occupation-competence profiles that have already been developed in projects such as CENTRAL and Novalog, EUCOLOG, Prolog.

At the same time, the project intends to lay the foundations to initiate a European Logistics Skills Network in order to ensure the sustainable exploitation of project results and to improve the dialogue between stakeholders of skills development in the logistics sector.
