The Commission will introduce a common EU framework that elevates teaching excellence in higher education and aligns academic roles with Europe’s skills agenda. Complementing ResearchComp, it will define core competences for innovative pedagogy, student-centred and AI-enabled learning, curriculum co-creation with employers, and the design of lifelong learning pathways using micro-credentials. The framework will support recognition and career progression for educators, encourage provision through European Universities alliances, and strengthen links to labour-market needs. It will give institutions a reference to recruit, develop and reward academic staff who drive inclusion, quality and impact.
