The call aims to attract proposals for cutting-edge, high-risk/high-impact research leading to game-changing impact in a defence context.

One year after the launch of the European Defence Skills Partnership (EDSP) and at a crucial time for Europe, with the start of the new European Commission and European Parliament for the period 2019-2024, this conference aims at building on the work of previous and existing initiatives to tackle the issue of the skill gaps in the defence sector.

The event, co-organised by the European Commission and AEROCAMPUS Aquitaine in Latresne (Bordeaux), will focus on the vocational education system meeting the needs of defence industries, innovative approaches in higher education for defence-related skills, and enhancing the attractiveness of the defence sector for new talents.

This conference is organised by the European Commission and ENDR member DAC  (Campania Aerospace District).

The event will bring companies, clusters, national & regional authorities, and academia together to discuss actions in support of skills for Europe’s defence industry, as well as how the European Structural & Investment Funds could contribute to this.

Skills are also crucial for the success of cross-border collaborative projects in the framework of the European Defence Fund. This is why this event will also include a workshop dedicated to exploring possible cooperation in line with the 2020 work programme of the European Defence Industrial Development Programme.
