On 22 January, the Digital LSP Matchmaking Event brings together stakeholders from the digital skills ecosystem to explore how Erasmus+ Blueprint projects are building sustainable Skills Alliances to address Europe’s digital skills gaps. The event will showcase alliance communities from ongoing projects: Artificial Intelligence Skills Alliance (ARISA), Digital4Sustainability and Smart Communities Skills Development in Europe (SMARCO).
