Turning evidence into action – Skills2Capabilities reports to the EC

The Skills2Capabilities project featured prominently in the European Commission’s latest Feedback-to-Policy event on education and skills in Brussels.

On 13 October 2025, the European Commission hosted the “Education and Skills – Horizon Europe Feedback-to-Policy” event in Brussels, bringing together rese­ar­chers, poli­cy­ma­kers, and project repre­sen­ta­ti­ves to discuss how evidence can shape future EU skills policies.

Daniel Unterweger (3s) and Katarina Wessling (ROA, Maastricht University & BIBB) presented the Skills2Capabilities project, high­light­ing its research on addres­sing skills mis­mat­ches and sup­port­ing more flexible, capa­bi­li­ty-based approa­ches to skills deve­lo­p­ment across Europe.

The event offered a platform to link research outcomes directly to poli­cy­ma­king, fostering col­la­bo­ra­ti­on between the European Commission and Horizon Europe projects. The exchange under­lined the importance of projects like Skills2Capabilities in bridging the gap between evidence and policy to build stronger, more adaptive skills systems.
