P4ELECS project partners looked into skills ecosystem’s challenges and opportunities in a first dedicated workshop “Five skills ecosystems for electrification in Europe – challenges and contexts” held in September at EnergyVille in Genk.
Initial opportunities to develop more open educational systems adapted to today’s flow of knowledge already emerged, against a wide range of global as well as context-specific challenges. The involvement of local governments and learners along with the relevant sectors to harmonise actions, the focus on very specific skills for niche applications, but also on shared basic knowledge and the inclusion of both theory and practice in the learning paths are some of the new possibilities envisioned by participants. These are expected to overcome challenges such as managing an increasingly complex technology landscape and the growing distance between a multitude of specialised knowledge silos.
First hand experiences from an advanced ecosystem in Belgium where shared by speakers from AGORIA, FLUX50, T2 Campus and VOLTA who presented the most important changes of the past five years when it comes to collaboration between research, education and industry and how they can become even more efficient.
