The OECD and the European Commission (EC) have joined efforts to establish an Education and Innovation Practice Community (EIPC). The EIPC seeks to boost dialogue and advance understanding of the competencies that help to trigger and shape innovation for the digital and green transitions, as well as “deep tech” innovation, as foreseen under the New European Innovation Agenda of the EC, Flagship 4: Fostering, attracting and retaining deep tech talent (europa.eu). This webinar will examine how higher education institutions, in their role as providers of advanced education and skills, are adapting mainstream degree programmes to build and deepen the competencies needed for digital, green, and deep-tech innovation. It will also reflect on how public policy can support these efforts across OECD and EU countries.
