Explore
The D2.2 Competency Framework for the Twin Green and Digital Transition provides a strategic and operational blueprint for equipping professionals, educators, institutions, and policymakers with the skills and capabilities required to lead and support the dual transformation toward a sustainable and digitally empowered future.
This framework has been developed through a rigorous, evidence-based, and participatory process.
Drawing on international best practices, including EU frameworks such as GreenComp, DigComp, and theEuropean Qualifications Framework (EQF), the structure enables cross-sectoral applicability and regional adaptation.
Organized into three interconnected sub-frameworks—Green Competencies, Digital Competencies, and Business Competencies for Twin Green and Digital Transition —the framework defines a total of 16 competency areas and 72 specific competencies, each mapped across five progressive levels (L1–L5) corresponding to EQF levels 3 to 8. These levels reflect increasing degrees of autonomy, complexity, and leadership, and are designed to support career progression, upskilling, and lifelong learning pathways.
Green skills – Sustainable energy management, environmental impact assessment, circular economy practices. Digital skills – Green computing, AI for sustainability, digital transformation in energy and manufacturing. Business acumen – Project management, sustainable entrepreneurship, and innovation leadership.
This framework will serve as the foundation for course development and will be aligned with both European and national qualification frameworks to ensure recognition across different educational and professional systems.
