SUMMARY:#EURegionsWeek 2025 "From insight to impact: leveraging data-driven approaches for smarter regional policy"
DESCRIPTION:This interactive session brings together four Horizon Europe projects\, MOBI-TWIN Project\, Re-Place EU Project\, PREMIUM_EU and SkillsPULSE\, to explore how different methodologies and tools – the Regional Attractiveness Index\, the Local Human Development Index\, the Regional Policy Dashboard and skills intelligence – can inform better policymaking. \nPractical information\nDate: Tue 14/10/2025\, 09:30 – 11:00 CET\nLocation: Square Brussels\, 213-215\nFormat: Interactive session\nTheme: The Right to Stay: unlocking the potential of every territory\nLanguage: English \n  \nAGENDA \n09:30 – 09:35 | Welcome & Setting the Scene\nModerator: Terence Hogarth\n– Welcome & structure of the session\n– Brief framing: What does “the right to stay” mean in regional policymaking? \n09:35 – 09:40 | CoR Framing Introduction  \nMarkku Markkula/Taina Tukiainen \n– Set the context from a policy perspective before the projects’ presentations. \n– Highlight challenges and priorities for European regions. \n09:40 – 09:50 | Framing Presentation: Four Projects\, One Mission  \nSpeaker: Anastasia Panori – Seamus McGuinness (TBC) \n-This opening segment will set the stage for the session by looking at the common challenges European regions face\, from demographic decline and brain drain to skills mismatches and mobility imbalances. \n-Introduction to the core theme of the session: how data-driven tools and strategies can help regions understand their strengths\, address gaps\, and design policies that make them more attractive\, inclusive\, and future-ready. \n09:50 – 10:30 | Breakout Labs – “Shape Your Region” (4 tables)\nParticipants split into 4 groups\, each assigned one of the project approaches/tools. \n10:30 – 10:55 | Group Feedback\n– Facilitators share brief feedback from each table  and facilitators offer a reflection from the perspective of the projects \n10:55 – 10:55 | Policy Reflections \n– Markku Markkula/Taina Tukiainen offers closing reflections and insights from a policymaker’s perspective\n– Framing key questions going forward\, example: – What can the EU do to support smarter use of these approaches? – How do we scale regional innovation in policymaking? \n10:55 – 11:00 | Wrap-up & Next Steps\nModerator: Terence Hogarth\n– Thank you & final remarks \n  \nMore information and registration: https://regions-and-cities.europa.eu/programme/2025/sessions/48182

SUMMARY:SkillsPULSE Policy roundtable on measuring and matching Europe’s skills
DESCRIPTION:Brussels\, October 14th\, 14:00-16:00. \nThe roundtable will discuss practical\, comparable ways to spot skills gaps earlier and translate evidence into actionable policy choices for Member States and EU-level initiatives alike. The discussion will focus on research derived from the SkillsPULSE project. \nModerated by Prof. Terence Hogarth (University of Warwick). The roundtable will open with a policy framing from DG Employment and an overview of the SkillsPULSE project by Liga Baltina (Fondazione Giacomo Brodolini). This will be followed by a presentation of the project’s approach and early results from Seamus McGuinness (ESRI) and Łukasz Arendt (University of Łódź). The session will then move into a policy discussion with contributions from invited experts\, providing an opportunity to exchange insights and perspectives on how skills data can better inform European policy and practice.

SUMMARY:FGB Knowledge Apero - "Tackling Skills Shortages: Turning Data into Action"
DESCRIPTION:Mario Draghi’s report\, the Future of European Competitiveness\, succinctly set out the problem facing the European Union. It has one of the best skilled workforces in the world and invests vast amounts every year in the education and skills of its population\, but this is not sufficiently reflected in its global economic competitiveness. Something must change. \nFondazione Giacomo Brodolini (FGB) Knowledge Apéro will start by scrutinising some of the usual skill-based explanations for the Europe’s current economic position – too many people qualified and experienced in things for which there is insufficient demand – but move beyond this to provide a more nuanced exploration of what may be really happening. Diagnosis and measurement need to precede prescription. \nSpeakers from four Horizon Europe projects – MOBI-TWIN\, Re-Place EU\, PREMIUM_EU and SkillsPULSE\, – will share their approaches to diagnosing and measuring skill needs in Europe: from mapping workforce mobility and regional attractiveness\, to measuring quality of life\, modelling policy impacts\, and developing innovative ways to match skills with emerging needs. This forms a basis for thinking about what needs to happen next. Each respective Horizon Europe project can contribute something novel to addressing this issue and\, in doing so\, make a positive contribution to the Union for Skills. \nAGENDA \nOpening words: \n\nLiga Baltina\, Head of Labour Market and Skills Research\, FGB Brussels office\n\nIntroducing the theme and moderation: \n\nProf. Terence Hogarth\, University of Warwick\n\nSpeakers : \n\nAnastasia Panori\, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki\nJennifer McGarrigle\, University of Lisbon\nBecky Arnold\, Netherlands Interdisciplinary Demographic Institute\nLukasz Arendt\, Lodz University\, Poland\n\nKnowledge Apéro is an after-work informal gathering with invited guests for sharing discussion and wine. Networks bring inspiration\, multiplying the dimensions of value generated by individuals\, institutions\, and companies. \nRegistration required.\n\nDate: 14th October\, 18:00-20:00 CET\nLocation: FGB Brussels office. 19a Avenue Marnix\n\nREGISTER HERE\nPlease note that FGB’s Brussels office is located in a historic building which regrettably has some architectural barriers – namely steps at the entrance and very small lifts – and is not fully accessible to persons with reduced mobility. \nThis event is part of the European Regions Week 2025 – Close to You initiative.  The EURegionsWeek organisers do not process any participant data for these sessions\, and are not responsible for their content.
