On the 10th and 11th of November, 2021, we are going to celebrate the International Professional Training Congress "Vocational Education and Training in the era of humanity, technology and human intelligence" at the Kursaal Conference Center in Donostia-San Sebastián. High-level speakers in different fields will participate in this congress, all of them referring to the advancement of the 4th industrial revolution and its involvement in Vocational Training.

The first webinar of the H2020 GI-NI project is focused on the outcomes of our conceptual work package. Three results will have been delivered by the date of the webinar: the conceptual background of the project, the policy debates and a first policy brief. In addition, the webinar will discuss the core ideas of the project and the translation into the main concepts. We will organise the webinar as a discussion between the main authors (Ronald Dekker, Hans Christian Garmann Johnsen and Cinzia Alcidi) and the scientific coordinator (Steven Dhondt).

The purpose of this conference is to inspire stakeholders in Norway to explore scenarios which will help meet the challenges of the future of work and contribute to more inclusive social development. Through three conferences and workshops under the concept "The future of work” we will address three major forces that will impact the future: digitalisation, migration and globalisation. This first conference will emphasize the impact of digitalisation: the skills requirements, the types of work and the quality of work in a 10-20 year perspective.
