The Skillman International Forum 2026 will take place on 25–26 November at the premises of Cedefop in Thessaloniki, Greece.
The two-day Forum will bring together representatives from education and training, research, the craft sector, cultural institutions, industry and policymaking to exchange knowledge, share experiences and explore emerging priorities in skills development.
The Forum will also provide an opportunity to highlight European initiatives connected to the Skillman network, including Tracks4Crafts, which advances the preservation and transformation of traditional crafts knowledge through research, innovation and collaboration ; BS4INNO, focusing on skills and practical tools for effective business succession; and VELOCITY, a new project designed to strengthen the capacities of VET providers in innovation, service design and technology, which will officially begin in October 2026.
