During the TE4I project all participating countries were invited submit proposals to host visits that would address key themes of the TE4I project. The country submissions were then considered by the Project Advisory Group and project staff team and visits scheduled in accordance with pre-determined criteria including the relevance of the theme proposed, possibilities to explore practice of different approaches to initial teacher education and achieving a balance of geographic representation of countries.

The project final report makes recommendations presented in two parts. The first set of recommendations directly relate to teacher education and are, therefore, directed mainly towards professionals working in this area. A second set of recommendations is directed towards policy makers who will need to provide a coherent policy framework for managing the wider, systemic change necessary to impact on teacher education for inclusion.

One of the key activities for the MIPIE project has been to collect overview information on data collection work already going on in participating countries. In particular, it was agreed to collect information from countries in line with the data collection priorities highlighted by policy makers in the Brussels conference:

The i-access conference was held in Copenhagen on 22–24 June 2011. The event was hosted by the Agency, in co-operation with the Danish Ministry of Education.

The aim of this conference was to identify the implications of international and European policy on accessibility for information providers in the field of education. The processes that organisations need to consider in order to ensure accessible information provision were also identified. The objective was then to collate this information and develop recommendations for the implementation of i-accessibility.

The second MIPIE project conference was held on 10–11 March, 2011 in Budapest, Hungary. The event was co-hosted by the Agency and the Hungarian Ministry of National Resources, State Secretariat for Education, as an event held under the Hungarian Presidency of the Council of the European Union. 

This second conference linked to a priority for Hungarian education strategy – that of unequal access to educational provision and transforming segregated provision into inclusive settings.

The first MIPIE project conference was held on 2–3 December 2010 in Brussels, Belgium. The event was co-hosted by representatives of the Ministries of Education of the Flemish and French communities of Belgium and the Agency. The conference was an event in line with the Belgium priorities for the Presidency of the EU, namely the promotion of social cohesion.

The aim of this conference was to identify what data and detailed information European policy makers need in order to map developments in the implementation of legislation and policy for inclusion.

This project aims to identify and investigate the relevant key aspects of VET programmes for learners with SEN, with a clear link to employment opportunities. In particular, the project investigates what works in VET for learners with SEN and why.
