19 December, 2024

We are excited to announce the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding between the SMACITE project (smacite.eu) and the CHAISE project (chaise-blockchainskills.eu). This partnership marks a significant step toward advancing digital skills and innovation across Europe. 

SMACITE: Enhancing skills for smart city tech
The project aims to address the skills gap of Smart Cities technicians and engineers, by designing and testing a vocational education and training program that combines digital skills on Smart Cities enabling technologies, with soft, entrepreneurship and green skills.

CHAISE: Blockchain skills for Europe 
CHAISE focuses on meeting the growing demand for blockchain expertise across Europe by developing a skills framework and tailored educational programs. 

Both SMACITE and CHAISE share the common goal of empowering individuals and organizations with the necessary tools to excel in a digitally driven world .

The collaboration between both projects will make an impact in:

  • Holistic education ecosystems: Combining smart city-related competencies with niche blockchain expertise.
  • Cross-sector innovation: Integrating blockchain technology into smart city solutions.
  • Inclusive talent development: Ensuring no one is left behind as cities and industries evolve.

This MOU paves the way for further collaboration between both projects, sharing resources and strategies to expand learning opportunities for students and professionals across Europe.
