What is the European Vocational Skills Week?  

European Vocational Skills Week is an annual event where local, regional or national organisations showcase the very best of vocational education and training (VET). VET is a path to a more fulfilling personal and professional life. European Vocational Skills Week is a platform to make VET’s potential more widely known, and an opportunity to exchange information and good practice across Europe and beyond.

The next Week will be in spring 2022. A series of partner activities will take place digitally across the EU next year. So look out for more information - anyone, anywhere can join in these activities.

EU Industry Days is Europe’s flagship annual event, highlighting industrial frontrunners, ongoing industrial policy discussions and improving the knowledge base of European industry. It is the main platform to discuss industry challenges and co-develop opportunities and policy responses in an inclusive dialogue with a wide range of stakeholders.

The EU Industry Days 2022 edition will take place in hybrid format between 8 - 11 February 2022 (8 February hybrid event in Brussels, 9-11 February online sessions).

It will stimulate discussions across industrial ecosystems on their green and digital pathways, to strengthen the resilience of EU companies and SMEs. It will hold discussions on how the young generation can shape the future of EU industry, in line with the Commission proposal to make 2022 the European Year of Youth.

Interested stakeholders can express their interest to organise a stakeholder session via the call for applications.

EU Industry Weeks is a wider framing of the EU Industry Days, bringing the discussion to the local communities around Europe and beyond. Interested stakeholders can express their interest to organise local events across Europe and beyond in January and February 2022 via the call for applications.
