The OECD and the European Commissionhave joined efforts to establish an Education and Innovation Practice Community (EIPC). The EIPC seeks to boost dialogue and advance understanding of the competencies that help to trigger and shape innovation for the digital and green transitions. The seminar "Promoting competencies for digital and green innovation through upskilling and reskilling in Higher Education" is connected to the Education and Innovation Practice Community, as part of the New European Innovation Agenda.
The objective of this seminar is to examine the role higher education in reskilling and upskilling to support the dissemination of innovation competencies in the context of the digital and green transitions as well as deep-tech evolutions. It will also delve into how public policy can support these efforts in advancing reskilling and upskilling initiatives within the EU and OECD countries.
This seminar will focus on three policy topics highlighting their practical applications:
- setting sectoral directions,
- encouraging industry engagement
- establishing support for students in training programmes
International policy makers and practitioners will discuss how to strengthen the collaboration between higher education institutions and relevant stakeholders for the development of innovation competencies for digital and green innovation.
The online seminar will take place on Tuesday, 9 April 2024 h. 14.30 - 16.15 CET. Registrations will run up until and including 9 April.
