During the past three years the Leonardo-networkproject Valuation (and Validation) of Prior Learning (VPL) has been working on the research and knowledge exchange of VPL in European practices. The result of this work is presented in this book. In the period 2002-2003 the network concentrated on making an inventory of national learning cultures. This information is compiled in the 2nd chapter. From 2004 onwards the network discussed the possibilities for designing a European model to cover the whole VPL-process. This discussion isn’t finished, as the implementation of VPL in Europe isn’t finished. Chapter 1 is representing this unfinished discussion, focusing on the VPL-model for implementation on organisational level. The other chapters are contributions showing the details of VPL-implementation in some countries. The last article tells us more on the somewhat missing learning culture in the presentation of the network, i.e. the eastern European learning culture.
