The European educational landscape represents a rich tapestry of approaches to preparing pedagogical personnel for innovative activities, offering valuable lessons for educational systems worldwide. This article examines the distinctive features, common trends, and effective practices characterizing teacher training systems across European countries, with particular focus on innovation capacity development. Through analysis of diverse national models and pan-European initiatives, the study reveals how European systems balance standardization with contextual adaptation, integrate research-based practice with professional autonomy, and foster continuous professional learning cultures. Key findings indicate that successful European approaches share several characteristics: strong emphasis on reflective practice and professional inquiry, systematic integration of digital competencies, collaborative learning communities, and robust linkages between initial teacher education and continuing professional development. The research identifies distinctive models including the Nordic emphasis on teacher autonomy and research-based practice, the Central European focus on systematic competency frameworks, and Southern European integration of practical apprenticeship with theoretical study. Pan-European policy frameworks, particularly through European Union initiatives, facilitate knowledge exchange and convergence while respecting national diversity.
