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. Additionally, TRIREME will assess current educational and training hurdles, including training system flexibility, novel delivery methods, and training efficiency. The initiative will crucially focus on facilitating the rollout of project results to European automotive regions and fostering peer learning activities among regions.

In addition to the TRIREME project, this conference is supported by and benefits from the synergies and contributions of the FLAMENCO Project and the European Greener VET Network (GREEN Project). Both initiatives emphasizing sectoral collaboration, skills development, and sustainability across European regions, contributing to broader goals under the Pact for Skills and the twin transition.

There is no conference fee.
