The 3D-CIRCULAR project, funded by the European Health and Digital Executive Agency, is working to ensure that education and training programmes are a good match for labour market needs. It's designing next‑generation master’s and doctoral programmes, as well as certification pathways that blend deep‑tech innovation with circular economy principles.

It aims to advance higher education in alignment with the EU Green Deal and Digital Europe strategies by embedding digital services, platforms and IT competencies into modern educational ecosystems. The project fosters a culture of lifelong learning and empowers individuals through reskilling and upskilling opportunities, strengthening Europe’s capacity for green and digital transformation.

The project has published a Skills Needs Survey on digital, deep tech driven circular economy skills. Employers, innovators, researchers and educators are asked to contribute in order to identify the key competencies required for the next generation of professionals.

This is your chance to help shape new curricula, micro-credentials and learning pathways across Europe!
