SKILLMAN INTERNATIONAL FORUM 2020
10th & 11th December 2020 @Online

Promoted by the Skillman Alliance

in partnership with

The Skillman.eu Network launches the 6th edition of the yearly SIF – SKILLMAN.EU INTERNATIONAL FORUM 2020, about redefining the future of learning, on December 10th and 11th 2020.


This year, due to the current uncertainties brought by the COVID-19 and the impossibility to mobilize a great crowd to attend the event,  the SIF will be hosted online, guaranteeing inclusion and high participation rates.


SIF 2020 is aimed at improvement of TVET and education in the field of the advanced manufacturing sector bringing together practitioners, innovative academics and industrial experts in the field of  Vocational Education and training to a common forum. The primary goal of the conference is to encourage the adoption of systematic approaches to skills anticipation/foresight: we need to join forces to promote an approach to curriculum design based on skills foresight analysis and which must involve, through a multi-channel engagement plan, all the actors and stakeholders that are also involved into the regional smart specialisation platforms.


We believe that ethical principles for education should not only inspire strategic action plans and systemic changes but also make possible the recognition and integration of ethical competences in new and revised curricula for promoting equity, justice, fairness and a culture of peace in societies.


Thus, it will be a great opportunity to speak out and raise awareness of your activities and research in the related field.
