Title
Partners for Erasmus+ CoVE project: Centre of Vocational Excellence for Sustainable Fuels, Green Technology, and Renewable Energy Facilities
AbstractTwo Danish organisations are currently seeking partners to join their application for the 2025 Erasmus+ Centres of Vocational Excellence (CoVE) call focusing on sustainable fuels, green technology, and renewable energy facilities. Final deadline on 11 June 2025. The proposal — H2Skills — focuses on establishing transnational Centres of Vocational Excellence in green energy.
DescriptionThe green transition is not only about technology — it is about people. H2Skills responds to the urgent need for a skilled workforce capable of implementing, maintaining, and innovating within Europe’s rapidly growing hydrogen economy. Rooted in vocational excellence, the project will serve as a scalable blueprint for hydrogen skills development across the EU.
H2Skills will co-develop hydrogen-specific curricula in close collaboration with industry, integrate smart diagnostics and high tech learning environments, and immerse students and teachers in real-life industrial contexts. They target the full hydrogen value chain and place special emphasis on inclusion, rural regeneration, and green workforce mobility.
