  • Ekosustav za razvoj vještina za urbanu Industriju 4.0: sedam izazova

    U mnogim su europskim gradovima proizvodne industrije još uvijek važni pokretači njihova gospodarstva, no sektor je sada u procesu transformacije pod utjecajem novih tehnologija (robotizacija, digitalizacija, novi materijali) i težnje za održivom proizvodnjom. Ova transformacija zahtjeva nove vještine i kompetencije onih koji rade u industriji, a time i od obrazovnih ustanova u gradovima koje obrazuju novi kadar koji ulazi u sektor. Kako stvoriti lokalni/urbani ekosustav kadrova koji će biti spremni za budućnost? Ovaj članak identificira sedam ključnih izazova s kojima se u tom pogledu suočavaju industrijski gradovi. Temelji se na dubinskim intervjuima s tvrtkama, obrazovnim ustanovama, kreatorima politika te stručnjacima u četiri industrijska grada okupljena u projektu AS-Transfer: Bilbao, Bielsko-Biała, Tartu i Temišvar.

  • Summary of Learning - Roeselare

    In mid-September, Bo and Gino defied the English weather and roads to meet, for the first time, with the partners of this URBACT Transfer Network. We got to know each other but also learned more about the “Good Practice” of Barnsley. Barnsley worked in collaboration with different stakeholders on the local economy of the future. On basis of their experiences of successes, methods and challenges during the project, Roeselare  made our own transfer plan including a provisional schedule and goals for the coming 18 months. In other words, Roeselare left Barnsley after three days full of inspiration for Roeselare. The knowledge gathered during the kick-off meeting triggered a cooperation with Art Economy where 20 colleagues of the city interacted with artists to enhance out-of-box approaches to innovation and technology and how to improve the ecosystem.
