This is the question we will address during a two day virtual seminar on 18-19 May 2020, and you are all invited. Highlights of the day include a workshop about hugely successful “Elements of AI” –course.

Day 1 is focusing on the situation in Finland, and the working language will be Finnish.

Tuesday: 10.00 – 15.35 CET

Day 2 expands to include the rest of Europe, and we will change the working language to English. Highlights of the day include a workshop about hugely successful “Elements of AI” –course with over 370 000 participants in 170 countries (more info: www.elementsofai.com ) and how to do something similar around basic skills. We will also identify the essential basic skills in the 2020´s.

This virtual seminar is modular. You are free to join for the full two days, or for any of the individual sessions according to your interest. We offer a number of keynote presentations and a total of 6 workshops over the two days, plus ample time for networking and discussions. Our aim is to offer you a unique opportunity to learn and to share your experiences and thoughts regarding the many aspects of improving adult basic skills in Europe. 

All registered participants will get a link to the event, a password and some instructions a few days before the seminar. Deadline for registration is May 14 at 5 PM.

Open Badges – A digital approach to micro-credentials

In today’s dynamic work and educational environments, it’s crucial to make all skills and competencies visible. Traditional certificates often fail to capture the full range of a person’s abilities, especially those acquired through professional experiences, hobbies, or volunteer work. Open Badges offer a solution to this challenge. In the Digi Teachers project, Open Badges were used to assess and recognize teachers’ competencies, highlighting their potential to promote continuous learning and professional development.

E-invoice data: an important untapped resource for companies

Although e-invoicing offers huge potential for improving financial management and business efficiency, this is still largely untapped. The full potential of e-invoicing will only be achieved when all invoices are sent electronically, enabling financial automation, real-time reporting and new business opportunities.

AI and e-invoicing: the key to efficient financial management

The combination of e-invoicing and AI brings huge benefits for financial management, but to make the most of it, invoicing must be fully digital. Taika Group and Verdis have joined forces to use artificial intelligence in e-invoicing. The benefits have been highly encouraging. The partnership shows why 100% take-up of e-invoicing is important.
