New ESIEM Report on Knowledge Needs and Skills Gaps in Industrial Engineering and Management

The European School of Industrial Engineering and Management (ESIEM) has published a new report presenting the results of a European survey on knowledge needs and skills gaps in Industrial Engineering and Management (IE&M).

The survey, conducted by the ESIEM European Observatory, gathered perspectives from industry, university professors, and master’s students across Europe. The report examines the alignment between companies’ knowledge requirements and the competences offered by university master’s programmes, identifying current and emerging skills gaps. It also compares the findings with those of the 2020 IE3 Erasmus+ project.

The report was prepared by a working group of professors and students from the European Academy for Industrial Management (AIM) and the European Students of Industrial Engineering and Management (ESTIEM).
