Virtual seminar: How can we improve adult basic skills in Europe?

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.

Roadmap to 100% e-invoicing by 2030

Raising e-invoicing to 100% in Finland by 2030 is an ambitious target we are trying to reach with the E-invoicing 2030 roadmap. The roadmap focuses on the promotion of e-invoices under the European standard, with concrete steps to reaching the target. The E-invoicing Forum has investigated why all companies are not yet using e-invoices compliant with the European standard. The results indicate there are some key problems that must be solved, and these are what the roadmap focuses on.

An eco-friendly future from electronics waste: producing and using eco-friendlier technology with the help of the Green ICT ecosystem

“Green technology” is no longer an empty catchphrase, as a new EU directive will require companies to assess and report on the emissions they produce. Recycling also plays a key role in the technology sector. A staggering 53.6 million tonnes of technological waste is generated every year, outweighing the Great Wall of China.

Technology – invaluable for continuous learning and recognition of prior learning

The high rate of digitalisation makes it important to keep learning new skills, and to recognise such skills. Skill recognition and development calls for strategic thinking, data on skills, practical tools and collaboration. Good examples of skills recognition models and tools include badges, data spaces and a digital compass.
