The current issue of the journal (2011/3) includes a contribution by Irene Psifidou (Cedefop), which describes different methods, approaches and tools from LdV projects, which were used for testing the EQF descriptors. It examines, amongst others, the approaches used in the following 3s partner projects: TransEQFrame (predecessor of the EQF-Ref project, coordinated by 3s), EASCMF and EQF-Frame.
