Digital skills for citizens of Europe: Europe 4.0 Digital Citizens Conference

Digital skills for European citizens: Europe conference 4.0 Digital Citizens
On 29 September 2026, the Digital Skills for European Citizens conference will be held at the Faculty of Management and Economics of Gdańsk University of Technology, organized under the European project Europe 4.0 Digital Citizens. The event is aimed at all those who want to develop their digital skills or support others.
Digital technologies change the way we work, learn and participate in society. However, advanced digital skills should not be reserved exclusively for IT professionals. The Europe 4.0 Digital Citizens project was designed to make new technologies understandable and accessible to everyone – including those without technical education.

During the conference:

• learn a free online course, available in seven European languages, at your own pace;
• familiarize yourself with the modules on artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, cloud computing, the Internet of Things, robotics, expanded reality, metaverse, quantum computing, 5G/6G networks and other issues;
• you will see how advanced technologies can be learned through affordable, non-technical materials;
• you will learn how skills acquired can be assessed and confirmed using micro-testimums;
• you will hear what participants and project partners from across Europe have learned by implementing the course in practice;
