    The new Bioeconomy Strategy, due for adoption by the end of 2025, aims to advance innovation and maintain the EU’s leadership in the bioeconomy.

The strategy will also focus on reinforcing circularity and sustainability. This online workshop will present examples of the bioeconomy in the agri-food sector. The presentations – each including a short Q&A – will be followed by a discussion with all participants. This discussion will be based on questions that will be shared in advance.

    Boosting apprenticeships: 2025 EAfA High-Level Event to support the Union of Skills and the Clean Industrial Deal

    Brussels

    The 2025 edition of the High-Level Event coincides with the European Commission’s announcement of two major new initiatives: the Union of Skills and the Clean Industrial Deal. Both emphasize the crucial role of apprenticeships in fostering a skilled, inclusive, and competitive European workforce.

    The EAfA High-Level Event will showcase how apprenticeships concretely support these two initiatives. Key topics to be addressed include: developing skills for clean technologies and green industries, enhancing gender equality in apprenticeships, particularly in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM), and ensuring the skills needed for a resilient and future-ready Europe.
