Call for Proposals: Data Space for Skills (Deployment)

EB International Technology Security and Innovation (ITSI) Fund - Mexico

Deadline: 29-May-24

The European Commission (EC) is seeking proposals to develop and deploy a secure and trusted data space for skills.

Databases of job offers, qualifications, learning opportunities, lists of curricula and certifications, inventory of topics studied at all levels of education and training, as well as skills classifications, can help better define human resource, business, employment as well as education and training policy strategies and add value for learners.

Data is at the core of skills, education, training and employment, offering enormous potential for innovative applications. All data spaces benefit from the Data Space Support Centre (DSSC), which makes sure common tools such as the Simpl software and common concepts are used. The Commission has already laid out work on the European data space for skills via the preparatory action funded under the 2021-22 work programme of DIGITAL and the call DIGITAL-2022-CLOUD-AI-03-PILOTSCLOUD-SERVICES.

The data space for skills is expected to be a European Common Data Space for sharing and accessing skills data for various purposes, from analytical and statistical purposes to policy development or re-use in innovative applications in line with European values, with a particular emphasis on ethics, diversity, security and privacy.

Companies and organisations in Europe face major shortages of digital experts especially in advanced disciplines such as artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, cloud, internet of things, extended reality or blockchain. Universities are not delivering enough qualified specialists to the labour market and companies lack the ability to provide appropriate reskilling and upskilling opportunities to their employees. By providing the means for enhanced data-based collaboration, the data space for skills should open new opportunities to address, innovate and transform existing and new challenges of the labour market and stimulate the digital transformation.
