Second edition of the M.A.R.K.E.T Meet-Up at ECAM LaSalle

On Friday 27 March, ECAM LaSalle welcomed our local partners from the academic, industrial, public and civil society sectors as part of ChallengeEU. Naldeo Group, Robotique First, ISARA, Saint Thomas d’Aquin, France Travail, the Lyon Metropolis and the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes Region were all present to discuss an issue that concerns them all: lifelong learning and the development of skills to respond to ecological, social, industrial and societal transitions. This morning’s session provided an opportunity to exchange perspectives, share experiences and identify concrete needs to support both employees and organisations through these transitions. This is a major challenge, as it involves not only securing career paths but also fostering sustainable skills development in step with current and future challenges. This issue will be at the heart of next month’s Hackathon, in which students from ECAM LaSalle and their academic partners will participate, designing, developing and presenting solutions to the challenges outlined by our local partners. The event was another example of the ChallengeEU Alliance’s commitment to building bridges between academia and the socio-economic environment, in line with the Quadruple Helix approach. It also highlighted the importance of interregional cooperation in developing sustainable and scalable solutions to shared European challenges. Such initiatives strengthen regional innovation capacity and contribute to shaping a more resilient and sustainable future.
