VISConti is a network of 17 partner organisations from 9 countries including 3 universities, 7 VET schools, one network of schools, one association of professionals in education management, one policy maker, one IT company and three organisations engaged in research and promotion in industry. It is a partnership that has come together to create a virtual working space for structured interaction between students and teachers of science related subjects and IT and science professionals from industry.The project has developed and tested web based tools for the assessment of projects by students in VET that were then developed into a tool for use in a community of practice for creativity in science and IT, both in education and in industry. VISConti has introduced a new approach and a new methodology for the generation and presentation of ideas or projects. It provides tools that teachers will use to assess the technical viability, economic potential and scientific creativity of project ideas, as a new model for assessment of student projects and other co-created outputs. VISConti has created a community of practice in which students, teachers and professionals in science or IT build their own professional profiles and work their way towards better employability and mobility, through a structured exercise in sharing ideas and using peer assessment on creativity and viability of ideas in science and technology-based subjects. Members of the VISConti Community of Practice look at each others' projects from the aspects of technical viability, economic potential and scientific creativity using standard tools available to the members of the community.Assessment tools have been designed after field research within the network of partners of VISConti. The Community of Practice and the tools cover diverse geographical areas, in order that methodologies can be adopted and adapted to the precise needs of the target groups. The technological platform facilitates the use of the tools and interaction in the VISConti Community of Practice. It has been developed in a collaborative manner between a VET school and an IT company, in a perfect example of the kind of collaboration that VISConti is designed to create between schools and industry.The partners have benefited from training by experts from education and industry in two training events that provided them with the right orientation towards the creativity and viability aspects of ideas in science and technology. They acquired knowledge about different approaches to creativity and viability and its assessment . They learned about the criteria and right conditions for successful communities of practice such as tthat created by VISConti.Three major multiplier events brought VISConti to the attention of the education community in VET and to players in industry, besides the partnership wide effort to enrol membership of quality in the network and in the VISConti Community of Practice. The events were originally to be organised in conjunction with the Scientix Conference in 2015, but this proved to be impracticable due to the high demand for space at the event, and its timing at the beginning of the VISconti funding period. Alternative fora were provided through the intervention of partners in the network, ensuring ensure a successful synergy and partnership between VET and industry through joint activities in creativity in science, technology and IT.
