e-DRIVE Kick-Off Meeting

The e-DRIVE consortium held its first official kick-off meeting online on 4 February 2026, bringing together all six partner organisations to launch the project.

e-DRIVE, Enhancing Development, Readiness, Innovation, and Vocational Education for Logistics Drivers, is an Erasmus+ Cooperation Partnership responding to the shortage of qualified truck drivers in the European logistics sector, by aligning vocational education and training with industry needs through micro-credentials.

The consortium brings together Sopeña (Spain, coordinator), INCOMA, 4EPKAV, WAM, Cerca Trova Ltd, and APRC.

During the meeting, partners introduced their organisations and areas of expertise, reviewed the project’s objectives and expected results, and agreed on the management structure, roles, and responsibilities for each work package. The consortium also discussed the communication tools and platforms to be used, the quality assurance and risk management approach, the dissemination strategy, and the timeline for the first phase of work, including the development of the e-DRIVE professional profile. With the project now underway, the partners are moving forward with the first activities and look forward to working together over the next two years to bring micro-credentialed training to the logistics sector.
