REBASING project: ECVET Unit and EQF job profile “Research based competence broker”
Introduction
The unit is structured following ECVET and EQF descriptive frame: knowledge, skills, and competencies. “Knowledge” means the outcome
of the assimilation of information through learning. Knowledge is the body of facts, principles, theories and practices that is related to a
field of work or study. In the context of ECVET and EQF, knowledge is described as theoretical and/or factual.
“Skills” means the ability to apply knowledge and use know-how to complete tasks and solve problems. In the context of ECVET and EQF,
skills are described as cognitive (involving the use of logical, intuitive and creative thinking) or practical (involving manual dexterity and
the use of methods, materials, tools and instruments).
“Competencies” means the proven ability to use knowledge, skills and personal, social and/or methodological abilities, in work or study
situations and in professional and personal development. In the context of ECVET and EQF, competence is described in terms of
responsibility and autonomy.

Based on University of Padua – Department of Mechanical and Management Innovation DIMEG and University of Neaples “Federico II” –
Department of Economic and Management Engineering DIEG literature analysis of the broker profile, on the characteristics of the role
played by the Norwegian Research-based Competence Broker, and on the empirical evidences from the interviews to opinion leaders and
companies reported by the partners in May and November 2011, several key activities have been identified. We propose here those that
seem the most common. Related to key activities, component activities are a description of tasks and consequently the results that the
broker should achieve.
