Building on the success of DigComp, which is recognised as the EU-wide framework for developing and measuring digital competence, the latest edition aims to continue to serve as a basis for framing digital skills policy, curricula development and the assessment of digital skills, both in the education sphere and in the labour market.

The updated DigComp also informs EU policymaking and helps realise the EU’s digital transformation goals until 2030 - including equipping at least 80 % of citizens with basic digital skills and growing the number of ICT specialists to 20 million by 2030 – as outlined in the EU’s Digital Compass for Europe’s Digital Decade.

The updated framework will also help boost further initiatives, such as the Skills Agenda, the Digital Education Action Plan, and the European Pillar of Social Rights Action Plan, while also encompassing the green and sustainability aspects of interacting with digital technologies in view of the green transition.
