ASSETs+ at the R&D Management Conference 2023 “Responsible and Responsive Innovation for a Better Future”
This international event took place at Pablo de Olavide University in Seville, on June 17-21.
The R&D Management Conference is an international event initiated in Manchester in 1980, which annually brings together academics and practitioners concerned with the study of R&D, technology management and innovation. This year’s theme was “Responsible and responsive innovation for a better future”.
ASSETs+ presented the paper “Detecting technologies and skills for innovation with data-driven analysis and Human-in-the-Loop: a Case Study on a Defence related Domain”, that describes the approach applied in the ASSETs+ project, the European Blueprint for Defence, to understand a strategy to up/re-skill students and professionals in the Defence sector. The output is a roadmap of technologies, skills, and job profiles, providing valuable insights for stakeholders in industrial and education domains and policy makers to orient their actions towards the needs of the labour market. The method can be replicated in other technological domains and industries.
