Building AI skills across Europe

The European AI Skills Academy brings together education, industry and public organisations to help people understand, use and develop AI responsibly.

Established through the AISHA project, the Academy brings together 30 beneficiaries and 12 associated partners across 19 countries, and is open to further strategic and tactical alliances with relevant European stakeholders. AISHA is co-funded by the Digital Europe Programme.

 

Why a European AI Skills Academy

Europe faces growing shortages in AI skills, fragmented qualifications and training offers, uneven adoption capacity among SMEs and public-sector organisations, and persistent underrepresentation in AI learning and careers. The Academy responds to these challenges by connecting AI literacy and advanced competences with practical learning pathways and responsible AI adoption, with a particular focus on generative AI.
