What competencies should management education enhance in the field of equality, diversity and inclusion? What is the current state in Europe and is there a skills gap?
The research phase of the EDIFY-EDU project has actively sought answers to these questions during the initial months of the project.
European project partners have analysed the visibility of EDI themes in management education in different countries. As part of the study, the project also organised workshops focusing on co-exploring the training needs and blind spots of EDI competences in management.
To get a further overview of existing good practices and development areas, we have conducted video interviews on EDI themes in five European countries. The videos can be viewed on the project’s YouTube-channel.

EDIFY-EDU in a nutshell
The project addresses the skills gap in the sector of Management education with regards to competencies on equality, diversity, and inclusion (EDI), which are more and more needed in a complex and fluid society. The project facilitates the acquisition of EDI competencies and transversal skills for management students and managers in business (in particular targeting medium-sized companies), in order to respond to the societal transformation by setting up a system for skill assessment, learning offer and validation and recognition.
