The Youth Partnership between the Council of Europe and the European Union held an expert meeting at the Brussels Office on 26 and 27 September to prepare the forthcoming massive open online course (MOOC) on "Youth Research Essentials".

The two-day meeting gave numerous partners – including the Council of Europe’s Advisory Council on Youth and European Steering Committee for Youth, as well as the European Youth Forum, Eurodesk Brussels Link, the European Youth Information and Counselling Agency, the European Youth Card Association, the Instituto Português do Desporto e Juventude and the Pool of European Youth Researchers – a chance to exchange ideas on the project.

The MOOC is due to be launched in autumn 2023.
