General information
MATES, an EU-funded Erasmus+ project, is aimed at bridging the gap between the skills needs and the training opportunities available within the shipbuilding and the off-shore renewable energy sectors.
During the MATES Strategy Validation workshop, the presenters will provide a general overview of both sectors, discuss industry skills needs and technological challenges as paradigm shifters, leading to future scenarios and action lines to overcome capacity shortages.
If you work in the shipbuilding or offshore renewable energy sector, or you are an interested party in the fields of industry, education or public administration, you are invited to join us at the MATES workshop on 28 May 2019 from 10.30-16.30.
All attendees will be invited to:
• Join the MATES project network of experts, enabling you to contribute to a long term strategy for the sectors
• Participate in the discussion for the validation of the MATES baseline strategy
• Contribute to the debate on how the set of proposed Pilot Experiences will better fit the MATES strategy
