Registration
Who can register?
As per the invitation letter, invitations were extended to ministers, and senior officials of
international organisations, with responsibilities over skills-relevant portfolios including education
(all levels and forms of learning), employment, business, technology and innovation, and others with a
stake in developing and using people’s skills. OECD Member countries, the European Union, the Council of
Europe, UNESCO, OECD accession and key partner countries, and other countries that have engaged in the
OECD’s skills work were also invited.
Participation is by invitation only, as the Skills Summit 2020 will be conducted in a
videoconference format not open to the press in order to foster free and frank exchanges. Countries and
international organisations are strongly encouraged to register ministers (or their equivalent for
international organisations) who have contributed to advancing the skills agenda. Each minister (or
their equivalent for international organisations) may be accompanied by up to three advisors as
observers.
