💽 If the EU #DataStrategy works, this might be our strongest card. Bad data is the Achille’s Heel of good AI

👨‍🔬 With demographics, geopolitics, strict immigration and challenging #research careers all not in Europe’s favour, stars are not aligned for attracting and retaining #AI talent

☸️ Focus on application of AI in research across Europe – avoid making an ivory tower. More decentral than central (hub and spokes, distributed institute – let’s be creative)

💶 The #EU must take this seriously and support the application of #AI4Science – no pooling, double-tagging or leveraging, new money is needed.

Bonus: Sejourné's attitude to his boss seems somewhat less confident than Breton's - but that is perhaps not a bad thing...

4/4 #UnionofSkills - upskilling and reskilling, lifelong learning to overcome lack of skills on the labour market

All good, but we have seen how difficult it is for the EU do coordinate here - the #EuropeanUniversityInitiative and a #EuropeanDegree will not solve the challenge

3/4 No mention of #HorizonEU lots on a #CompetitivenessFund, with focus on impact and leveraging private investment

This is the big one - will there be a revolution in EU's research and innovation funding?

2/4 Praise of Europe's #research and #innovation performance - lack of commercialisation comes from an unfinished single market.

Not new, but good to see universities off the hook on this one

"Coordination, coordination, coordination" said @vonderleyen about the #CompetitivenessCompass.

I am hearing a lot of top-down steering here in selecting key sectors and where to invest

Much ado about the leaked #CompetitivenessCompass from the EC today. There are worries about #HorizonEU, but at least we will know where to act.

It is also a strategy for simplification that requires at least 9 big pieces of regulation...

It is very rare that you read the executive summary and think: I need to skip forward to the details! I want to read it all!

The #OECD Report on Trends Shaping Education is that kind of report!

[#]Competitiveness Compass delayed - for me, it is still too early. There should have been much more time for stakeholders to chip in.

Draghi and Letta cannot be the final word.

For all of you itching to cleverly analyse and foresee #Trump 2.0, I just want to channel my inner Tyler Durden:

As German and UK #universities are quitting X, the next big question is the alternative. The Dutch have been experimenting with the #fediverse for some time - here is more information

The #EU Commission dependence on #Microsoft also makes the rest of us dependent: fx if you want to be active on the Digital Education Hub, you have to go with Teams. This is problematic.
