Empowering Higher Education
with Green Competences
GREENVERSITY is a three-year project dedicated to integrating the European Green Competence Framework (GreenComp) into higher education. Our mission is to empower universities, educators and students with the essential skills and knowledge to lead sustainable transformations in society. By developing a structured framework to implement the GreenComp with training programmes and engaging student initiatives, GREENVERSITY aims to make green skills a core part of higher education across Europe.
What is the GreenComp?
The GreenComp, or Green Competence Framework, equips individuals with the skills, knowledge, and attitudes to live sustainably. This framework aligns with the EU’s green skills agenda, fostering critical thinking, eco-responsibility, and proactive engagement with environmental challenges across all learning levels. It focuses on four key areas with twelve competencies total:
Embodying Sustainability Values
Embracing Complexity in Sustainability
Envisioning Sustainable Futures
Acting for Sustainability
Why the GreenComp?
The GREENVERSITY project leverages the GreenComp framework to strategically foster sustainability competences in higher education. By aligning with GreenComp, we:
Standardise our approach
Ensuring consistent and comprehensive educational materials across diverse institutions and disciplines.
Enhance learning outcomes
Equipping students with essential skills and knowledge to address environmental challenges.
Support EU sustainability goals
Contributing to the EU's green transition by embedding sustainability into education.
