The BRIGHTskills project is leading the charge to future-proof the European health industry by identifying and addressing the skills needed for a rapidly evolving sector. As part of this mission, we have launched two online consultations aimed at collecting input from stakeholders across the EU. Whether you are involved in training or workforce planning, or you are employed in a healthcare company, your input will help shape the skills strategy and tools that will guide the sector forward.

Best Practices Questionnaire

Open until 30 September 2025
This questionnaire seeks to map and analyse the most successful programmes, policies, and initiatives already supporting workforce development in healthcare companies and its related sectors, including:

- Pharmaceuticals & Biomanufacturing
- Medical Technology
- Digital Health
- Medical Supplies

We are especially interested in identifying models that have delivered real impact whether through innovative training approaches, or successful reskilling strategies. The goal is to highlight best practices that can be scaled, adapted, or replicated across Europe.

Who Should Participate?
- HR professionals
- Employers and industry associations involved in training delivery
- Education and training providers (VETs, universities, micro-credential platforms)
- Public authorities and policymakers working on skills and upskilling strategies
- Experts from adjacent sectors(e.g., digital manufacturing, regulatory bodies) with transferable models
