– 200 datasets on education and skills
– 150 education and skills services
During this presentation, we had the privilege of hearing from the following speakers:
- Francesco Bonfiglio from GAIA-X
- Christopher Wilson from MyData
- Matthias De Bièvre from Prometheus-X
These experts shared their knowledge and vision, laying the foundation for this ambitious project.
Innovative Ideas and Lively Discussions
The event also provided an opportunity to explore several concrete data ecosystems developed as part of the Prometheus-X project through panel discussions.
1. Use Case on Personalized Skills Matching
During this session, a panel of renowned speakers came together to discuss an exciting use case that focuses on personalized skills matching. The central objective of this case is to offer tailored learning programs and career pathways. This innovative approach aims to meet each individual’s unique needs by identifying their specific skills and providing them with suitable learning and professional development opportunities.
