Euridice Project

EURIDICE develops European Inclusive Education for Digital Society, Social Innovation and Global Citizenship. It is co-funded by the European Union as DEP-ADS project No. 101123121, in the EU Digital Europe Programme (DEP). EURIDICE delivers education for Advanced Digital Skills (ADS). The overall ambition of the Digital Europe Programme is to educate 20 Million ICT Specialists in Advanced Digital Skills by 2030.  EURIDICE provides Advanced Digital Skills to people in different digital technologies — in particular Artificial Intelligence and Data Science — in different disciplines and applications, with focus on the sectors Communication and Media, Education and Culture.

The EURIDICE project aims to usher Europe into the digital future by educating the next generation of innovators and leaders with advanced digital skills tailored for societal transformation and global citizenship. Initiated by the European Union, EURIDICE focuses on nurturing talent that understands the intersection of society and technology, driving human-centred innovation responsibly and inclusively.

Objectives of EURIDICE: The project is centred on interdisciplinary education in advanced digital technologies, aiming to produce graduates proficient in fields such as AI, Machine Learning, Data Science, and Cybersecurity. However, these technical skills are coupled with insights from law, humanities, social sciences, and business/economics to ensure a holistic understanding of the digital landscape.

Educational programmes: EURIDICE offers three main educational programmes targeting master students, academic teachers, and working professionals. Courses are designed to be hands-on and challenge-based, promoting a blend of technical proficiency and understanding of associated socio-technical issues, like the ethical implications of AI and digital inclusivity.

Innovation in Education: EURIDICE introduces educational innovations such as the European Microcredential Approach, ensuring quality and portability of credentials. Moreover, it employs a novel teaching concept that combines in-person interaction with the scalability of online learning, adapting to a post-covid educational landscape.

Collaboration and Outreach: Built on a consortium of various universities and research institutions across Europe, EURIDICE fosters a collaborative environment. It brings together diverse academic expertise and emphasises strong connections with industry and societal institutions for a well-rounded educational approach.

Outcome: Graduates of EURIDICE will be equipped to take leadership positions in various sectors, driving digital transformation with a balanced understanding of technological capabilities and societal needs, thus contributing to a fair, inclusive, and democratic digital society in Europe and beyond.

A Project of Digital Innovation: Not only does EURIDICE focus on educating about digital innovation, but the project itself also embodies innovation through its interdisciplinary, challenge-based approach, and its blend of on-site and online learning methodologies. Through these means, EURIDICE aims to bridge the digital divide, promoting a future where technology aligns with human values and societal well-being.
