SUMMARY:Sprout x DIGI-ME: 3-Week Digital Entrepreneurship Program
DESCRIPTION:Sprout x DIGI-ME is a collaborative initiative between the University’s Innovation and Ecosystems department and the DIGI-ME project (co-funded by the EU) to stimulate digital-first entrepreneurship among students and young people. Spaces are provided by the Vaasa Startup Factory\, funded by the Vaasa Startup Arcade Project. \nRequirements: a team of minimum two people — one business founder and one technical founder — both willing to commit to three weeks of hands-on work. That’s it\, we’ll help you with the rest. \nThis year’s program is built around real industrial challenges brought to you by our partner companies. Over three weeks you’ll be guided through problem identification\, customer-driven solution development\, and business modeling — culminating in your own pitch. \nThe program runs through three workshops\, one per week\, plus weekly office hours with industry representatives and entrepreneurship coaches: \n\n22 October: Industrial Challenges (Problem Space)\n26 October: Customer-Driven Solution (Solution Space)\n2 November: Business Modeling\n6 November: Final Pitch Day where you will present your business and find your next steps.\n\nAs with previous editions\, this is hands-on\, social\, and tangible: no hybrid or online-only activities. Sign-up is open now — spaces are limited\, so don’t wait.

SUMMARY:3rd International conference on digital skills\, IT professionalism and informatics education
DESCRIPTION:Skill[set] is an international conference dedicated to digital skills\, IT professionalism\, and informatics education. It brings together researchers\, educators\, policymakers\, and practitioners to exchange insights on how competences related to computing\, data\, and digital technologies are developing in a rapidly changing world. \nAs digital transformation continues to shape organisations\, research environments\, and everyday life\, the conference provides a space to explore how professional roles\, educational pathways\, and societal expectations around digital competence are evolving. \nA new format\nBuilding on the previous ICODSIP conference series\, Skill[set] continues an established international dialogue on the development of digital competences and IT professionalism. \nThe 2026 Skill[set] conference is organised by the German Informatics Society (Gesellschaft für Informatik e.V.). While continuing the themes of previous editions\, the GI aims to expand the discussion by placing stronger emphasis on informatics competences and the role of educational technologies in competence development and learning. \nCall for papers and presentations\nSubmissions to this conference are invited in two formats: papers and presentations. Both formats address the same thematic tracks: \nTrack 1:  IT professionalism: informatics\, data and e-competences\nThe IT workforce is a key enabler of digital transformation in organisations\, research\, and society. As technologies\, data practices\, and software environments evolve rapidly – especially in light of (generative) Artificial Intelligence (AI)\, the requirements for IT professionals are also changing. Beyond addressing talent shortages\, there is a growing need to better understand how professional roles\, competence profiles\, and qualification pathways develop in increasingly data-intensive\, software-driven\, and interdisciplinary work contexts. \nTrack 2: Digital competences and skills\nDigital transformation continues to shape work\, education\, and everyday life worldwide. Its benefits\, however\, depend not only on access to technologies but also on people’s ability to use them effectively\, critically\, and responsibly. This requires a broad and evolving understanding of digital competences that goes beyond operational skills and includes the capacities needed to navigate increasingly data-driven\, AI-mediated\, and digitally connected environments. \nTrack 3: Informatics and Digital Education\nWithout a strong educational foundation in informatics education\, neither individuals\, institutions\, nor societies can truly understand\, meaningfully shape\, or thoughtfully question digital transformation. Beyond preparing future IT professionals\, it contributes to the development of foundational competencies. This includes not only technical understanding\, but also the ability to work with data\, computational approaches\, digital tools\, and emerging AI systems in responsible\, reflective\, and context-sensitive ways.
