Opis: Recovery and resilience plan (RRP) approved by the European Commission fosters the development of lifelong learning programs to upgrade employees’ skills and knowledge for digital and green transitions. Within higher education, the field of information and communication technology (ICT) is also a priority area, so we compared the demographic variables of students enrolled in formal first-cycle higher education programs in ICT with those enrolled in lifelong ICT programs within the framework of the Advanced Computer Skills project funded by the RRP in Slovenia. The results show that formal firstcycle higher education in the field of ICT remains strongly male-dominated, whereas, among participants in lifelong learning, the percentage of females stands out. Bachelor programs in ICT are primarily enrolled by young people aged up to 24 years, while shorter universitybased lifelong learning programs attract mostly older participants with higher completed formal education and from a broader range of prior educational backgrounds. Finally, when all three variables (gender, age and level of prior formal education) are considered, participants in lifelong learning are much more similar to part-time students than full-time bachelor ICT students, although the percentage of men in formal education is still predominant even in part-time studies. The research findings highlight the need for further efforts to offer lifelong learning in ICT to enable individuals to improve their employment prospects, progress in the workplace or even change their field of work.

Opis: We introduce the concept of reflexibility, which merges the notion of reflexive thinking and responsible behaviour. It is based on Archer’s view on reflexivity, seeing it as the mediator between structure and agency and as the crucial component of social change. Reflexibility is seen as the leverage towards more favorable social conditions. As an analytical proxy for sustainable settings on a macro and micro level we take the idea of Society 5.0 which superimposes the industry 5.0. We analyze the dynamics of the emergence of Society 5.0 in the evolutionary context by considering historical and synchronic factors.
Ključne besede: reflexibility, sustainability, society 5.0, morphogenetic approach

Opis: Today's world resonates with increasing oscillation patterns, which are detectable in different timeframes and phase shifts. These oscillations can be detected in shorter or longer periods. Despite fears that computers would replace humans, there is a growing shortage of competent ICT experts. As technologies like High-Performance Computing (HPC), Artificial Intelligence (AI), and Quantum Technologies (QT) advance rapidly, this shortage worsens, raising entry barriers. This chapter examines the colourful Danube region countries' challenges in attracting and retaining ICT talent. It compares countries' understanding of creativity, entrepreneurship, new emerging technologies, and competitiveness alongside their capacities to attract and retain skilled ICT professionals.

Opis: The book deals with the intricate processes concerning the formulation and adoption of grand developmental strategies (like the EU's grand strategic visions till 2030 and their global impact). The EU has been continuously rethinking its global position amidst emerging economic and geopolitical challenges and attempting to formulate strategies to increase its competitiveness. The EU recognized the importance of long-term strategizing by adopting, implementing, and monitoring the Lisbon Strategy (2000-2010) and Europe 2020 (2010-2020). The approach taken by the authors contributes to understanding and proper response to key global and European challenges such as demographic changes; digitalization of society; environmental challenges; inclusion and citizenship; investment, reforms, and governance; and technological change and the future of work. It will start with an introductory chapter. The content of the book is divided into three sections, outlining the main concept of the volume: evaluating and shading the light to different policies surrounding the (global) strategic visions of the 2030 Agenda of the EU.

Opis: To identify the challenges of the digital transition, we examined the impact of various factors on digital skills in the European Union. We found out that there is only a weak positive correlation between the share of individuals who never use the internet and the absence of a basic overall level of digital skills. In addition, it was also identified that there was a weak positive association between the level of GDP per capita and the price of fixed internet and that there is only an insignificant positive correlation between the price of the internet and the share of individuals never using the internet. On the other hand, we were able to confirm that there is a negative association between the level of GDP per capita and the absence of a basic general level of digital skills and a negative correlation between the level of GDP per capita and the share of individuals who never use the internet. There are as well significant differences across the European Union in the share of the salary that individuals have to spend on fixed-line internet access. Finally, we also confirmed that in European Union countries with lower GDP per capita, individuals have to spend a higher share of their salary to pay for internet access.
