Skills and VET are central to Europe’s competitiveness and resilience, and this event contributes to that wider conversation through the European Skills & VET Week 2026.
At this launch event, hosted by the European Committee of the Regions, Cedefop will present a new European skills intelligence tool for the first time: the Regional Skills Ecosystems index (RESET).
RESET gives policymakers, decision-makers and other stakeholders in regional skills ecosystems unique comparative information about skills performance in their region and opportunities for improvement. RESET uses comparative data for 244 European NUTS2 regions.
Participants in the event will explore the new index, its findings, and its policy implications in depth. Cedefop staff will give presentations tailored to the needs of regional stakeholders and moderate a debate with panellists and CoR members. The event will raise awareness of the importance of data-informed decision-making in regional settings and improve understanding of how regional skills ecosystem performance can be strengthened.
After the launch, RESET will be freely available on Cedefop's website.
The European Committee of the Regions is hosting the event but is not responsible for its content.
