European data spaces in practice: insights from the DS4Skills Data
Space
How can skills and labour‑market data be shared more effectively
across Europe? This question is at the heart of the upcoming
data.europa academy [https://data.europa.eu/en/academy] webinar
‘European data spaces in practice: insights from the Data Space for
Skills’
[https://data.europa.eu/en/news-events/events/webinar-european-data-spaces-practice-insights-data-space-skills],
taking place on Friday, 10 April, from 10:00 to 11:00 CEST. The online
session is open to everyone interested in European data spaces, skills
intelligence, and evidence‑based policymaking. 

DS4Skills (Data Space for Skills) [https://ds4skills.eu/] is a
European initiative that aims to improve access to skills‑related
data across borders and sectors. By bringing together universities,
industry, and public institutions, the project explores how shared
data can be reused for multiple purposes, such as improving
recruitment, supporting education and training, and shaping skills
policies at regional, national, and EU levels. As part of the broader
European approach to common data spaces
[https://digital-strategy.ec.europa.eu/en/policies/data-spaces],
DS4Skills contributes to more transparent, data‑driven
decision‑making in the field of skills and employment. 

During the webinar, two speakers will share their knowledge and
experience with the DS4Skills Data Space. First, Nathan Carvalho,
Senior Research and Innovation Manager at DIGITALEUROPE
[https://www.digitaleurope.org/], will provide a high‑level overview
of the initiative, explaining its governance model, policy alignment,
and current stage of development. He will be followed by Marcos da
Silveira, Research Leader at LIST [https://www.list.lu/], who will
present more on the AI-powered tools LIST is developing to identify
skills gaps, recommend targeted training and help training providers
adapt to emerging labour market needs, enabling more personalised
learning pathways.
