European e-Competence Framework

The European Norm (EN) 16234-1 European e-Competence Framework (e-CF) provides a reference of 41 competences as applied at the Information and Communication Technology (ICT) workplace, using a common language for competences, skills, knowledge and proficiency levels that can be understood across Europe.


The e-CF fits for application by ICT service, user and supply organisations, multinationals and SME’s, for ICT managers, HR departments and individuals, educational institutions including higher education and private certification providers, social partners, market analysts, policy makers and other organisations in public and private sectors.




European Professional Ethics Framework for the ICT Profession (EU ICT Ethics)

The objective of this project is the publication of a CEN Technical Specification (CEN/TS) “European Professional Ethics Framework for the ICT Profession (EU ICT Ethics)” including a methodology and application guide. It aims at strengthening the ICT Profession in Europe and will consider multifaceted stakeholder perspectives from national bodies, ICT professional organization, ICT professionals and the educational perspective.


Professional ethics is an essential component of any profession; leading examples are to be found in law and medicine where mutual understanding leads to improved outcomes and differentiates professions from jobs. A professional ICT workforce across European society and industry will support and enhance the exchange of ICT resources and services throughout the European single market.

"Ethics are of high importance in demanding social contexts such as organizations and business not as just abstract topics, values and ideas. Recently the focus is to communicate these values and ideas through tangible practices, tools and methods. Therefore, inevitably emphasis is put on the transformation of ethics’ insights in daily practice. To this end, digitally enable methods for ethics competencies and skills’ assessment remains a challenge that has to be addressed in the context of a coherent and dynamically updated framework. Considering the criticality of ethics pragmatic side, I’m working as a Team expert member of this project."

"We have the responsibility to consider the implications of new developments. What makes us stronger and what do we want to prevent? How do we manage new developments? Now is the time to reflect on that and I am glad that I can work with other experts - supported by CEN and the EC - on an ethics framework."

"Promoting IT Professionalism maturity and digital regulation are the basis for a sustainable, trustable and people driven Information and Knowledge Society. The achievement of ICT ethics framework is a key milestone in that way. The way to the foundation of digital society, or simply the society in this Information Age. I believe that every person, and especially every IT professional, could have a positive contribution in this crucial challenge."

"I believe that ethics provides the tools to relate social issues and individual values to the development processes and business models of organisations. Ethics forms the foundation and the connecting elements for every successful and sustainable innovation process. Ethics transform both the process and the attitude towards innovation itself. Therefore I am working as a team leader for this project."
