Industry session (schedule)

 

Panel with the OECD Global Science Forum Expert Group

Insights from the ongoing work of an Expert Group of the OECD Global Science Forum on how countries anticipate, identify, and effectively address capacity gaps in the public sector research workforce. The Expert Group focuses on artificial intelligence and quantum science (AI&QS) as case studies of two current priority research areas with massive investment and intense competition for talent. The group met for a workshop at the University of Helsinki (11–12 November) to identify success factors in academia–industry collaboration in research training and ways to stimulate and facilitate intersectoral mobility. In this session, members of the Expert Group will present key findings and invite the audience to contribute to the discussion.

Panelists will be announced soon.
