AI Skills Strategy for Europe

A strategic roadmap to reducing AI skills shortages, gaps and mismatches

Europe’s AI landscape blends academic excellence, thriving start-ups, and government initiatives, yet challenges persist in retaining talent and fostering diverse AI profiles. To address these challenges, ARISA launched the AI Skills Strategy for Europe, built on the 2023 AI Skills Needs Analysis, best practices analysis, and insights from stakeholders.

This dynamic document is subject to annual updates, with the latest taking place in December 2025. Thus, it keeps up with the key changes shaping the AI landscape. The Strategy aims to build a resilient foundation for Europe’s AI future. It serves as a stepping stone for developing AI educational and training activities in Europe, in an innovative, inclusive and ethical way.
