Digital Europe Programme (DIGITAL) DIGITAL-2026-SKILLS-09-LEAGUE-OF-ACADEMIES |
The Commission supports measures and initiatives to increase the number of ICT professionals and women's access. However, effective cooperation between all relevant stakeholders in the field of advanced digital skills is key to achieving the Digital Decade objective. This action will lead to the creation of the European League of Advanced Digital Skills Academies (ELEVATE), an umbrella initiative that will provide a governance framework to support the implementation, synergies, coordination and ensure coherence between the objectives of existing sectoral initiatives (i.e. Cybersecurity Skills Academy, EuroHPC Skills Community), the newly created Advanced Digital Skills Academy in the areas of Artificial Intelligence, Virtual Worlds, Quantum Technologies and Semiconductors and other EU-funded projects focused on advanced digital skills (in particular the dedicated training programmes funded by the DIGITAL programme), in order to minimise the risks of fragmentation. |
