Study on skills related to key enabling technologies (KETs) : final report

This report represents the final report for the 'Study on skills related to KETs'. The general objective of the study is to provide the Commission with the analysis and recommendations on skills in the NMBP areas, aiming to tackle the growing skills imbalances, both from the Horizon 2020 and from policy perspectives. Specifically, the study aimed to develop recommendations on how Horizon 2020 can help tackle the issue of skills imbalances in the NMBP areas. Also, the study includes recommendations for other relevant research and innovation policy measures to tackle the skills imbalances in KETs. The recommendations are structured along the four thematic areas of technical skills, mobility, entrepreneurial skills, and HR management skills. The results of the study are primarily to be used for fostering skill-related activities in research-based projects, while also considering an opportunity to embed the skills aspects into the monitoring activities of such projects.
