Making sure that Europe’s teachers have the essential competences they require in order to be effective in the classroom is one of the keys to raising levels of pupil attainment. Encouraging teachers to continue developing and extending their competences is vital in a fast-changing world.
The development of key competences, their validation and the provision of competence-oriented education, training and learning should be supported by establishing good practices for better support of educational staff in their tasks and improving their education, for updating assessment and validation methods and tools, and for introducing new and innovative forms of teaching and learning.
Discussion topics
- Supporting innovation, inclusion, quality and achievement in education and training;
- Professional learning opportunities and support for educators at all phases of their careers;
- Care for well-being of teachers, trainers and educational staff;
- Increasing the attractiveness of the teaching profession;
- Facilitating networking, knowledge sharing and mobility among institutions.

Higher education and its links with research and innovation play a crucial role in individual and societal development and in providing the highly skilled human capital that Europe needs to create jobs, economic growth, and prosperity.
Under priority area 4, the ET2030 recommends the fostering of higher education institutions as central actors of the ‘knowledge square’ (education, research, innovation and service to society), enhancing synergies and facilitating further work between higher education and research.
It also recommends the fostering of the relevance of higher education to the labour market and society.
Discussion topics
- Opportunities for further development within the higher education transformation agenda;
- Encouraging Higher Education Institutions to find new forms of deeper cooperation through:
- Transnational alliances;
- Pooling knowledge and resources; and
- Generating opportunities for students and staff mobility.
- Boosting research and innovation, including through the European Universities initiative.

The European Commission’s initiatives on a European Education Area to be achieved by 2025 and the new Digital Education Action Plan (2021-2027), are aimed to strengthen the contribution of education and training to the EU's recovery from the coronavirus crisis, and help build a green and digital Europe.
The initiatives propose more investment and stronger cooperation of Member States to help all Europeans, of all ages, benefit from the EU's rich education and training offer.
Discussion topics
- Transition to an environmentally sustainable as well as a more digital world will have significant social, economic and employment impacts;
- Enabling profound change in individuals’ behaviour and skills, starting with the education and training systems and institutions;
- Education and training institutions adopting green and digital dimensions in their development;
- Investments to integrate environmental sustainability and advanced digital skills across all levels in education and training;
- Investments to ensure that education and training infrastructures are prepared to deal with these changes;
- Reorienting education and training institutions to a whole-school approach;
- Creating inclusive, healthy, sustainable educational settings.

Making sure that Europe’s teachers have the essential competences they require in order to be effective in the classroom is one of the keys to raising levels of pupil attainment. Encouraging teachers to continue developing and extending their competences is vital in a fast-changing world.
The development of key competences, their validation and the provision of competence-oriented education, training and learning should be supported by establishing good practices for better support of educational staff in their tasks and improving their education, for updating assessment and validation methods and tools, and for introducing new and innovative forms of teaching and learning.
Discussion topics
- Supporting innovation, inclusion, quality and achievement in education and training;
- Professional learning opportunities and support for educators at all phases of their careers;
- Care for well-being of teachers, trainers and educational staff;
- Increasing the attractiveness of the teaching profession;
- Facilitating networking, knowledge sharing and mobility among institutions.

Higher education and its links with research and innovation play a crucial role in individual and societal development and in providing the highly skilled human capital that Europe needs to create jobs, economic growth, and prosperity.
Under priority area 4, the ET2030 recommends the fostering of higher education institutions as central actors of the ‘knowledge square’ (education, research, innovation and service to society), enhancing synergies and facilitating further work between higher education and research.
It also recommends the fostering of the relevance of higher education to the labour market and society.
Discussion topics
- Opportunities for further development within the higher education transformation agenda;
- Encouraging Higher Education Institutions to find new forms of deeper cooperation through:
- Transnational alliances;
- Pooling knowledge and resources; and
- Generating opportunities for students and staff mobility.
- Boosting research and innovation, including through the European Universities initiative.
