The contribution aims at two levels: first, it outlines the basic structure and logic of the Academia+ project (2018–2021). To this end, it identifies the basic needs of counsellors and career guidance practitioners and the resulting key challenges. In addition, he exemplifies the project logic and procedure in the three thematic areas “counselling migrants and refugees”, “future work” and “demographic change”. The project has two central objectives at this point: the first one is to support and consolidate the exchange and transnational training of counsellors in Europe, and the second target is to focus on the development of training programmes to address current key challenges in labour market and counselling. The anthology, and thus this contribution and the Academia+ project, sees itself first and foremost as a space for transnational exchange, with national perspectives on European challenges and a transnational synthesis.
