HEL we can! Boosting Skills & Continuous Learning in Europe brings together the key sectors who can secure the right skills in the future

Skills are widely explored, not only in terms of education but also in terms of research and innovation policy, investments, technological development, business, entrepreneurship, labour mobility, integration and culture. The aim of the conference is to gather 500 high-level participants from different sectors of society: from international organisations, business, administration, academia, student organisations and educational institutions, among these targeting a number of internationally interesting leaders and influencers.

The aim of the conference is to give incentives to develop EU-level regulation on knowledge and skills and to strengthen participants' own activities and cooperation. Through opening new avenues of dialogue between administrations, companies, organisations, students and actors in research and education, new types of partnerships in the field of innovation and knowledge are sought for as well as advancing and diversifying the open debate on skills and competence.

As we head towards 2030, Europe is faced with the challenge of reskilling, upskilling and re-evaluating our needs and education to meet future demands. At HEL we can! we encourage and enable discussion between the key sectors who can create the change Europe needs. HEL we can! is a side event related to Finland’s Presidency of the Council of the European Union.

If you are interested in these questions and come from education, business, civil society or academia this is the meeting for you. The event is held at Messukeskus Expo and Convention Centre with good connections to the Helsinki airport. The venue is accessible. More information and the programme can be found on HELwecan.com.

Join for discussions on the future of work, lifelong learning and education as well as the role of on innovation and research in all of this!
