Learning and Skills for the Digital Era

 

This forms an important part of the Europe 2020 agenda and its various flagships and policy initiatives.

 

JRC research in this area started in 2005 and is focused on how to make better use of ICT for rethinking learning, for innovating education and training and for addressing new skills requirements (e.g. digital competence) to generate growth, employment and social inclusion. More than 20 major studies have been undertaken and more than 100 different publications released.

 

JRC research in 2016-2017 is structured around three main strands:

  • 21st century Skills and Competences
  • Innovating and modernising Education and Training
  • Open Education

JRC's Learning and Skills projects cover a wide range of studies: On citizens and learners (micro), on teachers and educators (professionals), and on educational organisations (meso) and societies (macro). As indicated in the image below, projects are developed in collaboration with sister Commission services (Education and Culture, Employment, Justice).
