Displaced talent: Multi-stakeholder dialogue

Activity: Participating in or organising an eventOrganising a conference, symposium or workshop

Description

Åbo Akademi University’s Refugee Entrepreneurship Group hosts a hybrid workshop 12-13.10.2023 in association with Migration Institute Finland and Maria Elo (Adjunct Professor at Åbo Akademi and Associate Professor at University of Southern Denmark) and funded by Åbo Akademi University Foundation.

Displaced talent faces a range of challenges and impediments that may lead to brain waste, unemployment, and underdeveloped economic integration. While Finland suffers from being an aging society and experiences a lack of talents in many sectors, this talent matching paradox is not sustainable economically, socially, or otherwise. We explore ways to employ the full potential of displaced talent and develop capacity.

Together we will collect experiences, best practices, and recommendations for action, asking: What kind of knowledge and experience do we have in Finland that could lead to better capacity building?
