The ESSA project led by Aitor Goti, from the Faculty of Engineering aims to define and develop future job profiles in various areas, starting from the steel sector, that serves as a spearhead for others. Its objective is to design and deploy a coordinated, sustainable and industry-driven plan towards a European Skills Agenda.
The research work “Evaluation of the accessibility of the hotels in Bilbao Bizkaia (BBAG2019)”, led by Asunción Fernández-Villarán, researcher of the Leisure, Culture and Tourism from Social Transformation research group and member of the B-Creative Interdisciplinary Research Platform, has developed an innovative tool that offers detailed and objective information that allows each user to autonomously identify the accessibility conditions of the accommodation and make decisions based on their personal characteristics and circumstances.
