Last week, our Horizon project took a significant step forward as our team gathered in the enchanting city of Bologna for our first face-to-face Transnational Project Meeting (TPM). Over two dynamic days, we celebrated our achievements so far and set the stage for the exciting challenges ahead.
Day 1: Looking Back, Moving Forward The agenda on the first day brought our team together to reflect on our journey. We reviewed our accomplishments to date and unveiled the Preliminary Draft Analytical Framework. The atmosphere of collaboration flourished as experts contributed their perspectives, enhancing our dialogue on linking the Analytical Framework with the AI-Feeding Process. The session was filled with enthusiasm and innovation, setting the tone for the days to come.
Day 2: Diving Deeper into the Work The second day was all about delving into the finer details of our project. Highlights included:
- Experts’ Contributions and Discussion: Building on our framework, we explored its integration with the AI-Feeding Process, fostering engaging and productive dialogue.
- Preliminary Findings and Next Steps: Together, we reviewed the progress of WP2 “ In depth analysis of skill matching strategies and approaches”, Task 2.1 “Mapping of relevant stakeholders and skills eco-systems in the project partner countries”, and charted a ‘roadmap for identifying the existing and emerging good practices in the area of skills-based matching and selecting of practices and approaches for case study analysis and preparation, ensuring alignment and clarity in our objectives.
- Interdependencies: A critical session focusing on the relationship between WP1 “The development of an analytical model and evaluation framework identifying the effectiveness of ALMPs for skills matching in LM” and WP2 ““ In depth analysis of skill matching strategies and approaches”, as well as their integration with other Work Packages. Our Advisory Board played an invaluable role in this discussion.
- Dissemination and Communication: Recognizing the importance of spreading the word about our project, we emphasized strategies to ensure our work reaches and resonates with a wider audience.
With our first TPM behind us, we return inspired, equipped with new insights, and more determined than ever to make an impact. Bologna’s historic charm served as the perfect backdrop to ignite our vision for the project and strengthen our collaborative bonds.
