Reflecting on this year’s eucen Autumn Seminar, we can confidently assert that it was a success! Over the course of two days, we explored the theme “Skills for a Greener Future: The Role of University Lifelong Learning” from various points of views. The event brought together EU policymakers, companies, civil society, international academics, researchers, and practitioners, fostering meaningful dialogue on this crucial topic. The seminar offered a dynamic programme featuring keynote speeches, interactive dialogues, working groups, poster presentations, parallel sessions, and networking opportunities. Notable keynote speakers included Stefaan Hermans (Director of Policy Strategy and Evaluation in the Directorate-General for Education, Youth, Sport and Culture at the European Commission), and Simon Roy (Lead of the Higher Education Policy Team in the OECD’s Directorate for Education and Skills). The dialogue took place between Gemma Tejedor-Papell (Researcher at the Institute of Sustainability Science and Technology, UPC) and Shannon Kobran (Head of Education and Training at the SDG Academy). Contributions to the panel discussion came from professionals such as and David Gomez i Maurel (Project manager at Tèxtils.CAT), Shannon Kobran, Magí Lluch-Ariet (Data Manager at EIT Health), and Annemieke Van Barneveld-Biesma (Manager of Strategic Partnerships for LLL at Wageningen University & Research). Additionally, participants could contribute with poster presentations and explore during parallel sessions the topics ‘RPL as a powerful tool for inclusion’ and ‘Education and design for green skills’. The expertise of the guests significantly enriched the discussions, underscoring the critical role of universities in advancing skills development for a sustainable, greener future. We want to thank all the speakers, facilitators, and attendees who made the event possible. A special acknowledgment goes to Tamer Atabarut (Bogaziçi University), Katrin Männik (Tallinn University), and Christina Paulus (BOKU) for their work as scientific committee. We look forward seeing you again next year at the 55th eucen Annual Conference in Lille.

We are today in Brussels for the iBox Agora. Very important event to reflect abou diversity and inclusion in Europe.
After the address from MEP Marcos Ros Sempere at the iBox Agora organised by Lifelong Learning Platform - European Civil Society for Education we are now listening to Annalisa Cannoni DG EAC explaining how the EC can influence Member States implement strategies for diversity and inclusion. Now we will hear Loredana Dicsi from the European Disability Forum - how are the strategies put in place for individuals with discapacities in our society? How can we improve them?
Brief but very good synthesis from our President about last week’s Seminar.
A brief note on the eucen Autumn Seminar 2024, which took place on 14-15 November on the theme of "Skills for a greener future: the role of university lifelong learning" Without going into detail about all the great presentations and exchanges, we can point out the following: - Green jobs and green skills are not limited to those we talk about most. Simon Roy from the OECD - OCDE helped us to understand the scope of the skills required and pointed out that a large proportion of existing green tasks require tertiary education. - Stefaan Hermans from the European Commission presented the European Union vision and what it has put in place to develop green skills. Green transition must be integrated into all EU initiatives and green skills must be integrated into all education systems. - The answer to the lack of green skills in Europe can only be found through collaboration involving all stakeholders in relevant sectors. - There are a multitude of initiatives in universities from which we can draw inspiration. Please do not hesitate to contact eucen should you want to learn more about our activities. #continuingeducation #lifelonglearning #greenskills #greenjobs Formation Continue UNIL-EPFL eucen
