Digital4Sustainability– re-and upskilling for a digital and sustainable Europe  

Digital4Sustainability is dedicated to accelerating the so called ‘twin transition’ (sustainable & digital). In a European consortium innovative training programs are developed and implemented that provide professionals with the skills and knowledge needed to use new digital tools, in a sustainable way, to achieve sustainability targets. 

Objective

The mission of the Digital4Sustainability consortium is to help professionals and organizations to thrive in a rapidly evolving landscape where digital technology and sustainability intersect. An important barrier to the twin transition is a skill shortage, which this program addresses. 

Results

  • Develop a digital sustainability skills strategy 
  • Developing innovative training programs 
  • Take a collaborative approach with 29 partners in 13 EU countries 
  • Developing a long-term pan-European education and training initiative.  

Duration

06 March 2024 - 01 March 2028

Approach

Based on an analysis highlighting urgent, mid- and long-term skills needs, a skills strategy is developed. This is translated in a range of modular training programs, preferably with micro-credits attached to them. The programs are distributed across Europe.
