                • AI Integration: Features the systematic and transversal integration of artificial intelligence knowledge across all 21 competencies. 
                  • Proficiency Levels: Scales skills across granular or broad progression levels (from basic guided tasks up to highly advanced, specialized problem resolution). 
                    • Use Cases: Used across Europe for education transparency, job profiles, self-assessments, and policy planning to support the EU Digital Decade goals.

                    The eight thematic areas for the DigComp COP Amassadors are: 

                    • Higher education and Research
                    • School education and Youth work
                    • Vocational education, Adult learning, and Upskilling

                    From my perspective as a DigComp COP Ambassador in the sector of Regional and Community-based digital inclusion, I will focus on active citizens in a global digital society in the era of AI. Within my research, networks, and projects, I will emphasise digital societies, active citizenship, inclusion, diversity, sustainability, scalability, seamless learning, learning on demand, and lifelong learning.
