    The skills nexus between pro­duc­ti­vi­ty and job quality

    Strengthening foundations for a competitive Europe

    Veranstalter: Cedefop

    As Europe navigates rapid tech­no­lo­gi­cal change and global com­pe­ti­ti­on, this con­fe­rence explores how skills and workplace learning can drive both pro­duc­ti­vi­ty and job quality. It brings together experts, poli­cy­ma­kers and prac­ti­tio­ners to discuss how investing in people’s skills can streng­then Europe’s com­pe­ti­ti­ve­ness. The event is part of the European VET and Skills Week.

    Participants will discuss how companies and insti­tu­ti­ons can translate invest­ment in skills and workplace learning into higher pro­duc­ti­vi­ty and better job quality. The con­fe­rence will also address the impact of emerging tech­no­lo­gies, including arti­fi­ci­al intel­li­gence, on jobs and organisations.

    Participants will engage in keynote speeches, panel dis­cus­sions and inter­ac­ti­ve sessions. These will explore how skills deve­lo­p­ment and workplace learning link to tech­no­lo­gi­cal change and pro­duc­ti­vi­ty, including tran­si­ti­on towards Industry 5.0 and the role of workplace learning cultures.

    Sessions will address topics such as ups­kil­ling in EU work­places, future skills needs, and the impact of auto­ma­ti­on and digital tech­no­lo­gies on jobs. Group dis­cus­sions will look at lea­der­ship, orga­ni­sa­tio­nal support for learning, and how job tasks evolve with digitalisation.

    The programme includes exchanges with social partners, govern­ment repre­sen­ta­ti­ves and experts. It encou­ra­ges dialogue and the sharing of practices across sectors and countries.

    Insights will draw on findings from Cedefop’s European Training and Learning survey (ETLS). Which provides unique insights into the drivers and con­tex­tu­al factors affecting workplace learning among EU citizens.

    The con­fe­rence will con­tri­bu­te to iden­ti­fy­ing practical approa­ches and policy prio­ri­ties to help orga­ni­sa­ti­ons adopt human-centred approa­ches to tech­no­lo­gi­cal innovation.

    Education at a Glance 2026

    Education and Skills global webinar

    OECD

    Education at a Glance is the OECD’s definitive guide for understanding the state of education worldwide. It provides a comprehensive picture of who participates in education, how systems are funded and organised, and the outcomes they deliver. Bringing together internationally comparable data on educational attainment, enrolment, financing and labour market outcomes, the report equips policymakers with robust evidence to identify challenges, benchmark progress and drive meaningful reform. This year’s edition has a special focus on teacher shortages, examining where this is a particular issue and the impact that shortages can have on classrooms. The virtual launch event will begin with opening remarks from OECD Secretary General Mathias Cormann, followed by the presentation of key findings by OECD Director for Education and Skills Andreas Schleicher and audience questions.

    Seminar

    Using and Innovating Quantitative Approaches to Support Effective Policies

    Advancing Research on Adult Learning

    Cedefop

    Cedefop, the European Centre for the Development of Vocational Training, acts as a bridge between data producers, users and policymakers to strengthen the discussion on adult learning. It contributes to this work by: -  using existing data provided by the wider international statistical infrastructure to monitor and report on key indicators on VET and policy developments, and conducting the Centre’s own analysis and research to support policies related to adult education; - developing and organising surveys to answer questions that existing data do not sufficiently cover, in order to respond to policy needs or the Centre’s research questions; - contributing to improving the data already collected by Eurostat and the OECD. The seminar intends to constitute an avenue for presentations and discussions of work, ideas, needs and developments, as well as for exchanges, mutual learning and networking opportunities. Call for abstracts is open until 15 May 2026

    Putting the MFF in its place

    Why Europe’s budget cannot ignore geography

    EURASHE and partners

    In the past few months, negotiations have been underway to define the new Multiannual Financial Framework (MFF) of the European Union for the 2028-2034 programming period. Within this frame, EURASHE and partners are organising a discussion on the capacity of the MFF to address local challenges in the EU, and whether sufficient attention is being paid to the development of place-based policies. The event is taking place as a side event of the European Week of Regions and Cities, co-organised with Friends for Smart Specialisation (FoSS) and the Centre for European Policy Studies (CEPS). This event will ask three important and interrelated questions:
    • What are the benefits to Europe as a whole if EU spending is responsive to differences across Europe’s economic geography?
    • What are the dangers of place-blind policies to the cohesion of the Union in an age of increasingly territorial polarisation?
    • Which elements of the MFF are most needed to respond to differences between places and ensure cities and regions are harnessed to meet the EU’s objectives?
    Registration opens on 15th September and capacity is limited.
