On May
30, a workshop on (future) demands in GI/EO profiles and skills needs in this
sector was carried out at the University of Jaume, in Castellon, Spain. In a
breakout session, organised by Barbara Hofer and Stefan Lang, three expert
groups were discussing the current gaps in the workforce, specific needs in
vocational and lifelong learning, and future trends in both society and
technology and their likely impacts on job markets. 
A panel discussion with
a.o. John Wilson (UCGIS), Mike Gould (ESRI), and Steven Ramage (GEO), widened
the international perspective with viewpoints from academic networks,
industries, and global associations. The suggestion from Z_GIS and the
University of Basilicata, to design curricula for trans-EQF Copernicus expert
profiles based on existing and adapted ESCO skillsets, was greatly supported by
DG GROW.
