The objective of this webinar 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 webinar 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.
