About this programme

About the programme

The DIGITAL Europe programme will fund the design and delivery of specialised programmes and traineeships for future experts in key capacity areas like data and AI, cybersecurity, quantum and HPC. It also aims to support the upskilling of the existing workforce through training in key capacity areas.

The actions under this Special Objective aim at supporting the excellence of EU education and training institutions in digital areas, including by encouraging their cooperation with research and businesses. The goal is to improve the capacity to nurture and attract digital talents.

During the first two years of the programme, actions on skills will focus on the following aspects:

  • Providing education and training opportunities for future experts in key capacity areas like data and ethical artificial intelligence (AI), cybersecurity, quantum and HPC. The programme will support networks of education and training institutions, research centres and businesses for the design and delivery of specialised education programmes as well as traineeships to acquire advanced digital skills needed for specific technologies;
  • Reskilling and upskilling the existing workforce through short-term trainings reflecting the latest developments in key capacity areas;
  • Developing and designing Digital Crash Courses for SMEs;
  • Conducting a detailed analysis to identify emerging trends and needs;
  • Addressing the digital transformation in the education sector, namely the development of a high-performing digital education ecosystem and enhancing digital skills and competences.

The preparation of a European data space for skills will contribute to mapping and identifying needs and developments across the EU.

EURHISFIRM - Long-term data for Europe

EURHISFIRM designs a world-class research infrastructure (RI) to connect, collect, collate, align, and share detailed, reliable, and standardized long-term financial, governance, and geographical data on European companies. EURHISFIRM enables researchers, policymakers, and other stakeholders to develop and evaluate effective strategies to promote investment, economic growth and job creation. The RI provides the tools for long-term analysis highlighting the dynamics of the past and the way those dynamics structure our present and future.

The EURHISFIRM European project received € 3.4 million in financing from the European Commission through the H2020-INFRADEV-2017-1 research infrastructures call. The project started with a consortium of eleven research organisations (including University of Antwerp) from seven European countries.
