| The European Commission has allocated EUR 1.284 billion for two multiannual work programs under the Digital Europe Program. The primary education work program will focus on advanced digital skills, climate and environment protection technology, data, AI, and cybersecurity, with a budget of EUR 909.5 million for 2023 and 2024. The Commission has also published two proposals for Council Recommendations to support member states in providing high-quality digital education and training to develop digital skills among European citizens. The recommendations aim to help Europe achieve its 2030 targets of 80% of adults with basic digital skills and employing 20 million ICT specialists. The ACA will discuss the impact of these legal frameworks on mobility and internationalization at the national level. ACADEMIC COOPERATION ASSOCIATION |
