DigComp 3.0: European Digital Competence Framework

DigComp 3.0 is the fifth edition of the European Digital Competence Framework for Citizens. It describes knowledge, skills and attitudes that are needed to be digitally competent for daily life, participation in society, working and learning. The framework is technology-neutral and is designed to be tailored and adapted for a variety of purposes in education, training and employment contexts. The framework update reflects rapid digital technological developments that have occurred since 2022 and which have wide-ranging implications for digital competence. DigComp 3.0 includes new learning outcomes which provide a more granular view of digital competence than previously, as well as the systematic and transversal integration of AI across the framework. It supports EU policies and initiatives on digital skills (such as the Union of Skills and the Digital Decade Policy Programme) and the societal and economic implications of the digital transformation (such as the AI Continent Action Plan and the European Strategy for a Better Internet for Kids). It is intended for individuals and organisations, whether local, regional, national, European or international, who share the common goal of understanding and identifying digital skills needs and supporting their development.
