As explained in the Sunset Strategy, data in the latest formats QMS2 / LOMS were migrated automatically, therefore, no immediate action was required. Since April 2023, the QDR has been exclusively supporting ELM v3.

To prepare your data in ELM v3, there are several scenarios depending on how the new data format can impact the publication process in Europass:

• I have already published data on learning opportunities or qualifications via the QDR, but in a legacy format (Ploteus or QMS1)

The QDR Support team is not able to convert your data in ELM that is provided in the old data formats such as EQF, Ploteus, or QMS1. This means that your data cannot be shown in Europass anymore if you do not switch to the newest data format. The countries concerned were informed and invited to an info session that took place in August 2022. The Support team remains available for support during the transition period to ELM v3.

• I have already published data on learning opportunities or qualifications in the most recent data schemes (QMS2 and LOMS)

From QMS2 and LOMS, it was possible to move to ELM v3. This move from QMS2 or LOMS to ELM v3 could be done directly in QDR.
