Shaping the future European Data Space for Skills based on stakeholders’ needs.

WHAT IS DS4SKILLS?

Developing a human-centric and trusted Data Space for Skills

The Data Space for Skills (DS4Skills) is a 1-year project aiming to prepare the ground for the development of an open and trusted European Data Space for Skills that supports sharing and accessing skills data.

It is funded by the European Commission under the Digital Europe Programme and involves 14 ambitious partners from the industry, education and data ecosystem sectors.

Coordinated by DIGITALEUROPE, the DS4Skills consortium brings together 10 full Partners and 4 Associated Partners with solid experience in data ecosystem and community building, a wide network of stakeholders from diverse backgrounds, including researchers, training providers, companies as well as associations representing industry and data ecosystems.

Our Mission

DS4Skills aims to identify relevant data sources for the skills data space based on stakeholders’ needs and propose conceptual approaches for the future deployment of the European Data Space for Skills.

Via the wide and multidisciplinary network of partners, the project will build consensus and engage with the broad community of skills stakeholders.
