The Survey of Adult Skills (PIAAC) is a collaborative endeavour involving the participating countries, the OECD Secretariat, the European Commission and an international Consortium led by Educational Testing Service (ETS). This report was prepared by, in alphabetical order: Michelle Cherian, Marta Encinas-Martin, Luca Marcolin, Marco Paccagnella, Glenda Quintini and William Thorn, with the assistance of Vanessa Denis.
Sally Hinchcliffe was responsible for the editing of the report and Sabrina Leonarduzzi for the administrative and production process.
The International Consortium was responsible for developing the assessment instruments and preparing the underlying data under the direction of Irwin Kirsch and Claudia Tamassia.
The development and implementation of the project was steered by the PIAAC Board of Participating Countries. During the implementation of the 3rd round of the Survey of Adult Skills (2014 to 2019), the Board was chaired by Aviana Bulgarelli (Italy) from 2016, Patrick Bussière (Canada) from 2014 to 2015, Dan McGrath (the United States) from 2014 to 2016 and Ted Reininga (the Netherlands) from 2015.
