Guest researchers
Academic researchers working in the education and training research sector are able to complete research stays at the BIBB of between 14 days to a year.
Federal Institute for Vocational Education and Training (BIBB) is recognised nationally and internationally as a centre of excellence for research and further development of initial and continuing vocational education and training. The Federal Government’s education and training policy forms the statutory basis for the work of the institute.

The BIBB provides guest academic researchers with access to important players in German and international vocational education and training, as well as to the internal library, the data research centre and to other databases. A fully equipped workplace will be provided.
