Two projects recently started at Thomas More University of Applied Sciences where students, researchers and teachers jointly and in co-creation look for future scenarios based on the green and digital transition agenda: ‘Digital Society’ and ‘Circular business models in fashion’.

Upskilling using EntreComp framework in this field proves to be a very promising approach. EntreComp4Transition project partnership is already working on assessing the mismatches in education and labor market to move on towards creation of sustainable synergies in these sectors.
