This conference will be an occasion to present the main outcomes of the eCF Council project, a three-year EU-funded project implemented in 2015–18 under the Erasmus+ Programme (Sector Skills Alliances).

During three years, the eCF Council consortium has built the eCF Alliance, a transnational network gathering the major players responsible for IT professionals’ enhancement across Europe, namely employers, professional associations, social partners, VET providers, higher education, research centres, regulatory bodies, and SMEs. This, in response to the critical mismatch between ICT skills demand and offer that Europe is suffering both in terms of trainings and geographical distribution of the required competences against the positions available, and to the need to foster ICT professionalism at the European and international level.

The conference will gather the major players responsible for IT professionals’ enhancement across Europe, providing a unique networking opportunity.
