Pilot projects for higher education reform for a green and resilient transition

The objective of the investment is to prepare higher education for the increased demand for skills that reflect new societal needs by developing and implementing more inclusive and adaptable learning approaches.

The investment includes the implementation of pilot projects to integrate green and digital skills into higher education. The investment supports the adaptation of vocational study programmes to the professions of the future and to the needs of the labour market.

The Recovery and Resilience Facility provided funding of EUR 59.6 million, while the total value of the investment is EUR 55.6 million. 

The projects started in July 2022 and will be finalised by the end of 2025.
