A study visit is a short stay of three to five days in a host country for a group of 10 to 15 European education and vocational training specialists and decision-makers. A study visit usually includes presentations and onsite visits to places, such as educational and training institutions, Ministries and training sites. Such visits provide a forum for discussion, exchange and learning on themes of common interest, which include European and/or national priorities.
