What is DigComp
The Digital Competence Framework for Citizens (DigComp) is the European Union's reference framework for citizens' digital competences. Developed by the Joint Research Centre (JRC) of the European Commission, DigComp defines what it means to be digitally competent in today's world.

The 5 competence areas
- Information and data literacy - Browsing, evaluating and managing digital data and information
- Communication and collaboration - Interacting, sharing and collaborating through digital technologies
