Member SocietiesCEPIS continues to be a forerunner of developments in the European skills domain. The ECDL certification which started as a small European Commission-funded project undertaken by CEPIS has developed into the global standard and certification body for end-user digital skills. Another CEPIS certification, the European Certification for Informatics Professionals (EUCIP) is receiving increasing pan-European recognition amongst IT professionals.
e-Skills in Europe: Matching Supply to Demand
CEPIS completed the eSkills Foresight Scenarios project in late 2007. This project, sponsored by the European Commission looks at the impact of a range of factors on the supply and demand of eSkills in Europe in the context of achieving the goals of the Lisbon Agenda and ensuring Europe's competitiveness in the world economy. It offers a framework for long-term thinking and planning on ICT skills strategy, and its role in the development of the European economy, particularly within the ICT sector.
