Building on the momentum of the EFG Policy Manifesto, launched in November 2024, we are now developing a Skills Manifesto – a comprehensive analysis of the current availability of geology professionals and a mapping of the skills and the number of professionals needed to meet market demands.
We are assembling a dedicated volunteer task force to help drive this crucial initiative and invite anybody interested to contribute their expertise.
What is the scope of work?
As a member, you will:
- Collect and analyse existing data on geology graduates and professionals.
- Gather new insights from sources such as Eurostat, national statistical agencies, and industry reports.
- Map the skills needed for Europe’s green and digital transitions.
- Shape the Skills Manifesto, a key strategic document for the future of our profession.
Why Join the Task Force?
- The task force lead will receive a free ticket for the 5th International Professional Geology Conference (5–7 November 2025, Zaragoza, Spain) where the Skills Manifesto will be officially presented (excluding gala dinner and field trips).
- All other task force members will receive free access to one of the EFG Academy self-paced courses.
Timeline
- Deadline for text production: September 2025
