Bridging the Digital Talent Gap: Towards Successful Industry-University Partnerships
Informatics Europe is delighted to announce the publication of the report "Bridging the Digital Talent Gap: Towards Successful Industry-University Partnerships".
The report presents a summary of the discussions and reccommendations originated during the Bridging the Digital Talent Gap Workshop organized on October 2019 in Rome by Informatics Europe and the European Commission DG CONNECT.
Informatics Europe and DG CONNECT joined forces to organize the Digital Talent Gap Workshop which was intended to debate and propose concrete solutions on possible ways of increasing the specialised educational offer in the areas of Artificial Intelligence, Cyber Security and Software Engineering. The main goals were to discuss how cooperation among universities and business partners developing and deploying digital technologies could contribute to alleviate the problem of the digital talent gap.
The results of this fertile discussion and a number of recommendations directed to universities, industry and policymakers are summarized in the report. The finding and recommendations will feed into the current debate on future policies, including programmes at European level like the Digital Europe programme.
Both the workshop and the report were a work of multiple hands and Informatics Europe would like to thank the contributions of all rapporteurs and facilitators:
Gregor Engels, Alessandro Bogliolo, Javier Lopez, Alexander Riedl, Valentina Parziale, Daniele Nardi, Tanya Suarez, Brendan Rowan.
