The DigComp framework
DigComp (Digital Competence Framework for Citizens) is the European reference framework developed by the Joint Research Centre (JRC) of the European Commission. It provides a common language for identifying and describing the key areas of digital competence needed for citizens to take an active part in society and in the digital economy.
