Sectoral digital skills academies: Digital Skills Academy in GenAI
Funds a single European academy that builds GenAI training curricula and hands-on courses for students and professionals across the EU.
This is a single-stage Digital Europe Programme Lump Sum Grant, so applicants submit one full proposal by the deadline rather than a short-listing round first. The funded academy must set up a dedicated landing page on the Digital Skills and Jobs Platform to publicise its activities, and must report on its impact using a KPI assessment scheme, with recommendations for future policy and investment.…
The call funds one AI Skills Academy covering two areas: skills for using AI Factories' supercomputing facilities, and skills for deploying GenAI in key economic sectors. Deliverables include full academic curricula, short modular trainings for sector specialists, teach-the-teacher programmes, and partnerships between academia, industry and research institutions. The academy must also run public-facing awareness activities on using GenAI safely and responsibly.
