• Cooperation with international organisations, such as the OECD and the Council of Europe
• Promote dialogue with stakeholders and support to programmes and policies within public authorities, providers and stakeholders in the fields of education, vocational training and youth

European policy experimentations under Erasmus+ key action 3 (Support for policy reform) -  initiatives for policy innovation are transnational cooperation projects supporting the implementation of the European Union policy agendas on education, training and youth, including sector-specific agendas such as the Bologna and Copenhagen processes.
