On behalf of the Skillman Secretariat, I am pleased to invite you to join us for the 4th edition of the Skillman Alliance Summit (AS2025), taking place on 9–10 July 2025 in Ancona, Italy.
Building on the success of previous editions, AS2025 will strategically align the Skillman Network’s global expertise with the priorities of the European Union Strategy for the Adriatic and Ionian Region (EUSAIR). The forum will provide a high-level platform to explore the transformative role of vocational education and training, entrepreneurial competences, and digital innovation in advancing macro-regional strategies and supporting the Western Balkans’ integration into the European Union.
This year’s Summit will bring together policy makers, educational leaders, industry representatives, and civil society organisations across Europe, with a special focus on the following thematic pillars:
•
The twin transition to green and digital economies
•
Digital skills development
•
Strategies for upskilling and reskilling
•
Entrepreneurship and innovation in VET
•
Regional cooperation under EUSAIR and EU enlargement priorities
AS2025 will also spotlight flagship initiatives such as:
•
dqf.eu – Showcasing blockchain-enabled solutions for entrepreneurial credentialing aligned with the EntreComp framework and the Erasmus for Young Entrepreneurs programme
•
Tracks4Crafts – Highlighting innovative frameworks for sustaining Europe’s traditional craftsmanship through digital adaptation and cross-sector collaboration.
•
In addition, the Summit will feature a dedicated presentation of the Skillman Teacher Academy (STA) – a transnational initiative aimed at enhancing teacher education in the VET sector and supported under the Erasmus+ Teacher Academies action. This session will present opportunities for national and regional engagement as STA expands its reach through local hubs and collaborative platforms.
Join the Skillman Teacher Academy, a vibrant and visionary community committed to empowering teachers and trainers through innovation, digital excellence, and European collaboration. Become a member of this transformative initiative and help shape a new era of learning across Europe!
