June 2025 – The EU.FFICIENT Communities of Expert Facilitators officially launched with an engaging online event that brought together innovators, facilitators, and stakeholders from across Europe. The event marked the beginning of a new chapter for collaborative innovation, with the EU.FFICIENT platform serving as a hub for personalised training, networking, and hands-on learning opportunities.
Over 90 participants joined the session to discover how EU.FFICIENT is empowering Communities of Expert Facilitators to advance co-creation in four strategic fields:
- Advanced Manufacturing
- HealthTech
- Mobility
- AI/Digital
The event featured a guided tour of the platform, insights into upcoming courses and workshops, and a presentation of the Skills-Assessment Tool, now available to support professional development across Europe.
Event Highlights:
-
Participants explored the EU.FFICIENT platform and learned about tailored training opportunities.
-
Facilitators connected with peers and leaders across industries, academia, and the public sector.

Attendees gained first-hand insights into how EU.FFICIENT is strengthening co-creation methodologies and bridging sectoral divides.
To ensure the community can continue learning and connecting beyond the event, resources remain available:
“Innovation doesn’t happen in isolation – it needs expert facilitators to connect people, ideas, and breakthroughs,” said the EU.FFICIENT team during the launch. “We are delighted to see such an enthusiastic response and look forward to building a vibrant community that drives collaboration across Europe.”
The launch event marks just the beginning. EU.FFICIENT will continue to expand its reach, aiming to connect thousands of expert facilitators by 2030 and foster meaningful collaboration between academia, industry, and the public sector.
