University Green Digital Hub
The main objective of the University Green Digital HUB project is to develop and promote digital, green and entrepreneurial (DGE) skills among students, staff and university start-ups through DGE reskilling and upskilling programmes, as well as start-up support programmes for green and digital innovation. The programmes are based on the Digital Education Action Plan (2021–2027) and the European Competence Framework for Sustainability (GreenComp).
University Green Digital HUB will:
- develop a framework for the digital and green transition based on an analysis of the DGE skills of the project’s target groups,
- develop DGE training programmes in collaboration with the target groups,
- develop the DGE Knowledge Factory: a web platform for e-learning, knowledge exchange and the dissemination of project results
- develop the Greenpreneur Startup Factory programme, a comprehensive startup support system for university startups in the fields of green and digital innovation.
Key project outcomes:
- 60 students are taking part in the DGE pilot programme,
- 100 users of the DGE Knowledge Factory web platform and the DGE library,
- 60 participants in the green hackathon,
- 15 university start-ups are taking part in the short, mixed-format intensive programme,
- 60 participants in the Greenpreneur start-up programme
The overall outcomes are the development of DGE skills among students and university staff, and the strengthening of higher education institutions’ capacity to support university start-ups developing digital and green innovations.
