This report presents a structured and comparable way to describe Learning Factories by applying the Framework for Interdisciplinary Training in Learning Factories. The framework brings together two complementary dimensions: the regional context, which explains the industrial, economic and educational environment of each centre, and the technical and pedagogical elements, which define how Learning Factories are designed and operated. Using this common structure, the report documents four Learning Factories participating in LF4VET: FH JOANNEUM’s Smart Production Lab (Austria), CIFP Miguel Altuna’s Ikas Fabrika (Basque Country), ENSAM’s Evolutive Learning Factory (France), and the Teaching Factory Competence Centre (Greece). Each monography highlights the specific socio-economic context, institutional characteristics, training programmes, and workplace-relevant learning environments of the respective centre. Together, these analyses show how diverse institutions across Europe are advancing hands-on, interdisciplinary, and industry-aligned training to address skills shortages and support digital, sustainable and human-centric industrial transitions. The framework offers a scalable tool for benchmarking, strategic development and collaboration within the growing Learning Factory ecosystem.
