workshop INDUSTRY 4.0
Delegates participated actively in the workshop under the title INDUSTRY 4.o. It was moderated and rapporteured by Panagiotis G. Anastassopoulos and Massimiliano Masscherini from EUROFOUND. The questions in how should Educational ecosystem react on the huge changes that Industry 4.0 and the reality it brings on the professional level were analysed and iscussed by the delegates. How should VET providers, the teachers, the learners, the local regional and national governments could react on this topic. What is the needed communication level to be established between the triangle Education-Enterprises-Governments under the European Umbrella to keep pace with the changing needs? How do we react? How do we up-skill or re-skill ourselves?
…the answer is changing our mindset and move forward to ATTITUDE 4.0…

Marketplace
One of the innovations that this conference offers the delegates is the option to choose between various parallel sections. One of them is the opportunity given to the members to discuss and brainstorm on new projects besides the B2B cooperation they can easily establish. This opportunity is called Marketplace.
This year it was moderated by Panagiotis G. Anastassopoulos and Jonathan Harding from UK. At the beginning of the event the floor was given to Chrystalle Petridou (Seconded Expert in European Commission) describing the huge raise on Erasmus+ funds. Additionally she elaborated on the changes and the strategies the Commission is directing this raise to go, with Mobility taking the lead once again. After that around 120 delegates brainstormed in small and flexible groups knowing and elaborating on common ideas that concluded to 17 new project partnerships…
…120 happy delegates and 17 new partnerships…
