EPR Responds to DigComp 3.0 Consultation

EPR Responds to DigComp 3.0 Consultation

On 10 April, the European Commission’s Joint Research Centre (JRC) – the science and knowledge service employing scientists who carry out research to provide independent scientific advice to EU policy – organised a meeting to gather stakeholders’ feedback on their work on the DigComp 3.0 – the fifth iteration of the European Digital Competence Framework. 

For context, the European Digital Competence Framework (DigComp) is a tool developed and updated by the JRC since 2010, providing a common understanding to identify and describe the key areas of digital competence. DigComp aims to help policy-makers formulate and plan education and training initiatives to improve the digital proficiency of specific target groups. 

The proposed updates to the DigComp included the following:

• Changes to wording of the competence areas and competences.
• A new dimension – learning outcomes: to provide a granular link between competences and proficiency levels.
• Systematic integration of AI competence.
• Update of proficiency levels.

Participants are able to provide feedback until 30 April through a survey, and the final version of DigComp 3.0 can be expected in the second half of 2025.

More information on the DigComp Framework is available here.
