On 3 - 4 October Round Table Discussions were held in Pskov Agricultural College (Pskov, Russia) and Malnava College (Malnava, Latvia) within the project "Improvement of higher vocational education in the field of transport and logistics" (T&L). More than 30 participants from Latvia and Russia took part in Round Tables representing rather wide academic, business and regional development community.

Timofejevs, Member of Board of Latvian National Association of Haulers agreed that knowledge and skills of transport students can be improved in latest technologies ( "IT on wheels" - logistics, customs, topography, dispatching, GPS routing software), vehicle maintenance and exploitation (economic driving, winter driving issues, road safety), operational management (proper and efficient cargo handling, passengers transportation).

Another important topic discussed was the need for marketing of education on regional, national and international level.  The participants of the event emphasized that access to vocational training should become more competitive via distance learning tools and multilingual approach.
