The Excellent Advanced Manufacturing 4.0 project, EXAM 4.0 , EXAM 4.0 by its acronym, is one of the five Platforms of VET Excellence approved for funding by the Erasmus+ programme in 2019 under the Centres of Vocational Excellence (CoVE) pilot initiative launched by the European Commission in 2018. 8 partners from 5 countries (Spain, Belgium, Germany, Sweden and the Netherlands) representing the Vocational Education and Training (VET) sector and the industry will work together in this innovative project, coordinated by TKNIKA, the Basque VET Research Centre.
Technology is advancing rapidly, and the pace of change is increasing. Consequently, an increasing number of activities will have the potential to be performed by machines rather than by humans.

Institutions, companies, and employees will need to increase their focus on education and training to be able to keep up with the increasing pace of change.
