Project Goal: Two year project, to develop a vision to (1) scale the creation of service science skills and high-technology jobs for Europe based on global exemplars and expert perspectives from public and private sectors, and (b) expand beyond previously published reports in light of recent technological advances, in areas such as AI, Blockchain, IoT, and more.
Project Deliverable: Final Report to the European Commission
Project Stages: Collect Exemplars -> Write Draft Report – > Get Community Feedback -> Publish Final Report
Acknowledgments: The final report will thank the experts who either shared exemplars, provided feedback on drafts, and/or attended community meetings – these are the three key ways that experts can help at different stages in this two-year project.
