ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

The conference is organized in the frame of the TRIREME Project, a four-year ERASMUS+ Blueprint initiative. This conference will publicly kick off the project and will focus on enhancing and updating skills intelligence (trends, skills, and job role needs) and developing new and updated training courses across the Automotive-Mobility Ecosystem, with specific emphasis on Digitalization, Sustainability, Circular Economy, Value Chain Resilience, and New Business Models. A particular focus will be given to addressing the social implications of the twin transition on the workforce.

This year, the conference is co-organised with the European Chips Skills Academy (ECSA), a major initiative supporting the EU Chips Act by strengthening Europe’s talent pipeline in microelectronics and semiconductor manufacturing. ECSA brings together key education, research, and industry partners to develop advanced training offers and foster stronger cross-sector collaboration, particularly relevant for the Automotive-Mobility Ecosystem as vehicles become increasingly dependent on semiconductor technologies. The presence of both TRIREME and ECSA highlights the growing convergence between the automotive and semiconductor sectors and underscores the need for coordinated European skills strategies to ensure technological leadership and resilient value chains.

COLLABORATION

The conference is organized to support collaboration in the Pact for Skills action. Automotive Skills Alliance (ASA) and European Chips Skills Academy (ECSA) are the large-scale partnership for collaboration on skills in Transport-Automotive-Mobility Ecosystem and Semiconductors. They are pioneering partnerships under the Pact for Skills action, and provides support to the implementation of the green and digital  transformation of the labour force in the Automotive-mobility and Semiconductor ecosystems and beyond.
