SMILE

Skill Match in an Intelligent Learning Environment

The Smile project aims to create a renewed synergy between HEIs and SMEs, centred on shared languages, methods, technologies, and common visions, capable of reducing the mismatch between the demand for skills expressed by production systems and the supply generated by Higher Education systems.

Today, EU Higher Education needs to undertake forward planning on a regular basis as this is crucial to adapt its systems to the emerging trends of the twin transition, which is prompting EU SMEs to evolve their professional systems, creating the need for skills adaptation, along with the demand for new professional profiles.

“AI and automation are not just tools in their toolbox; they are truly change enablers. They empower you to innovate, adapt quicker than ever, and grow. To dream bigger”

Rob Enslin – CEO at UiPath

The digitisation of career guidance, training, and placement processes, which has traditionally and habitually been reserved for conventional practices of analysis and development, can and must, in the current context of the twin transition and significant global pressures, be supported by business intelligence technologies to reduce margins of error, anticipate trends, and swiftly adapt Higher Education curricula to enhance the competitiveness of EU industrial contexts.
