6 ICAO Study: Global and Regional 20 Year Forecasts: Pilots, Maintenance Personnel, Air Traffic "Human resources development and management must strive to continuously improve the competency levels of safetycritical personnel, while taking into account interdependencies for supply and demand of qualified personnel at national, regional and global levels. Estimating current and future requirements for civil aviation personnel and training capacity in each region is essential for human resources planning, institutional capacity building, and related funding and policy measures." 6

7 7 Europe's Vision for Aviation: Flightpath 2050 Responding to society s needs Securing global leadership for Europe Meeting Societal and Market Needs Maintaining and Extending Industrial Leadership Protecting the Environment and the Energy Supply Ensuring Safety and Security Prioritising Research, Testing Capabilities & Education

8 Flightpath 2050: Prioritising Research, Testing Capabilities and Education 8 - European research and innovation strategies are jointly defined by all stakeholders - Strategic European aerospace test, simulation and development facilities are identified, maintained and continuously developed - Networks of multi-disciplinary technology clusters are created - Students are attracted to careers in aviation. Courses offered by European Universities closely match the needs of the Aviation Industry

9 Strategic Research & Innovation Agenda SRIA, Volume 1 9 Education A fully integrated European aviation education system delivers the required high-quality workforce and provides lifelong learning. "To attract both students and workers to the aviation sector A network of multi-disciplinary technology clusters is created based on collaboration between industry, universities and research establishments

10 MSCA Objective Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) Total budget ( ): 6.2 billion Main Objective Ensure the optimum development and dynamic use of Europe s intellectual capital in order to generate new skills and innovation Rationale Encourage new and creative types of training Identify excellent talents in research and innovation world wide Make the best researchers in Europe and in the world to work together across countries, sectors and disciplines Create a whole new mind-set in Europe, crucial for entrepreneurship and innovation Marie Curie Actions

11 MSCA in Horizon2020 Innovative Training Networks Individual Fellowships Research and Innovation Staff Exchange Co-funding of programmes ITN IF RISE COFUND Training Networks, European Industrial Doctorates, Joint Doctorates Support for experienced researchers undertaking international and inter-sector mobility International and inter-sector cooperation through the exchange of staff Co-funding of regional, national and international programmes: - doctoral programmes - fellowship programmes Marie Curie Actions

12 Erasmus+ Main Objectives to improve people's skills and ultimately their employability to support the modernisation of education and training systems Education and Culture

13 Erasmus+ Erasmus+ Total budget of 14.7 billion Budget increase of approximately 70% Two thirds of budget targets learning mobility 5 million people could study or work abroad Two key objectives: individual mobility competitiveness of education sector Education and Culture

14 Erasmus+ A streamlined architecture and three key actions Current Programmes Lifelong Learning Programme Grundtvig Erasmus Leonardo Comenius International higher Education programmes: Erasmus Mundus bilateral Programmes Tempus Edulink Alfa Youth in Action Education and Culture One integrated Programme 1. Learning mobility of individuals Erasmus+ 2. Cooperation for innovation and best practices Specific Actions: Jean Monnet Sport 3. Support for policy reform

15 Vocational Education and Training (VET) The European Commission acts in partnership with national governments, employers' and workers' groups and countries outside the EU to: improve the quality of training (initial education, continuing development); improve the quality of teachers, trainers and other professionals in the sector; make courses more relevant to the labour market. These objectives are achieved through: Work-based learning (WBL) - WBL in Europe ; Sector Skills Alliances- initiative designed to promote European cooperation within a specific sector of the economy Skills competitions supporting events like World Skills and Euroskills ; Improving national systems through the European quality assurance framework for vocational education and training (EQAVET); Agenda for new skills and jobs the EU's strategy for having 75% of its working-age population in work by 2020; Youth on the Move an EU initiative to help young people to gain the knowledge, skills, and experience they need to make their first job a reality; Toolkit - support for integrating ECVET (European credit system for Vocational Education 15 & Training) into new or existing Mobility Practice.
