What is the project about?

InFUELencer is an Erasmus+ cooperation project in vocational education and training (VET) that supports petrol stations and fuel retail businesses in remaining economically viable and further developing their business models in the course of the European green transition. To this end, practical training materials and training activities are being developed, tailored to VET trainers and fuel retail businesses as learners.
