D-GREEN – Digitale Nachhaltigkeit für KMU 🌱💻

Wir freuen uns, den offiziellen Start von D-GREEN – Digitale Nachhaltigkeit für KMU bekannt zu geben, einem europäischen Projekt, das im Rahmen des Erasmus+-Programms kofinanziert wird.

D-GREEN zielt darauf ab, den ökologischen und sozialen Fußabdruck von Informations- und Kommunikationstechnologien (IKT), die von kleinen und mittleren Unternehmen (KMU) in ganz Europa genutzt werden, zu reduzieren. Obwohl die Digitalisierung für die Wettbewerbsfähigkeit unerlässlich ist, fehlen vielen KMU die Kompetenzen und Instrumente, um IKT-Lösungen nachhaltig umzusetzen. D-GREEN schließt diese Lücke, indem es die Kompetenzen von Fachkräften der beruflichen Aus- und Weiterbildung (VET), von KMU-Managerinnen und -Managern sowie von Beschäftigten stärkt.

Das Projekt wird von einer transnationalen Partnerschaft aus sechs Organisationen aus fünf europäischen Ländern umgesetzt:
🇮🇹 Assindustria srl & Learnable
🇦🇹 ECECE
🇪🇸 Neotalentway S.L.
🇪🇪 LET’S DO IT WORLD
🇸🇪 Blekinge Institute of Technology

Im Laufe des Projekts wird die Partnerschaft entwickeln:
📘 Ein Handbuch für VET-Fachkräfte mit praxisnahen Schulungsmaterialien zur IKT-Nachhaltigkeit
🎓 Einen MOOC für KMU-Managerinnen und -Manager sowie Beschäftigte zur Unterstützung bei der Umsetzung nachhaltiger IKT-Praktiken
🛠️ Ein interaktives Bewertungstool, mit dem KMU ihre IKT-Nachhaltigkeitsleistung bewerten und verbessern können

Durch die Verbindung von digitaler Innovation und Nachhaltigkeit unterstützt D-GREEN KMU bei ihrer grünen und digitalen Transformation und leistet damit einen Beitrag zu einer verantwortungsvolleren und widerstandsfähigeren europäischen Wirtschaft.

Bleiben Sie dran für weitere Updates und Projektergebnisse.

15-01 2026 Bei D-Green unterstützen wir KMU und Berufsbildungsfachkräfte dabei, IKT nachhaltiger einzusetzen, ihren ökologischen und sozialen Einfluss zu reduzieren und gleichzeitig Effizienz und Produktivität zu steigern.

Projektziele:
Unternehmen und Fachkräfte in verantwortungsvollen digitalen Strategien schulen
Den ökologischen Fußabdruck von Technologien verringern
Nachhaltige Innovation bei der Umsetzung von IKT fördern
Lehrkräfte und Fachkräfte mit praxisnahen Instrumenten und Kompetenzen ausstatten

Mit D-Green kann die digitale Zukunft effizient, verantwortungsvoll und nachhaltig gestaltet werden.

Klagenfurt 7 June 2025 Ecece, as partner in Central Europe - Biodiversity Innovative Communities (Central-BIC), the European project funded by the Interreg Central Europe 2021-2027 program, has now reached its first year of activity. This initiative is dedicated to biodiversity conservation and the creation of new sustainable opportunities for local communities through Ecosystem Services.

Biodiversity loss is one of the most pressing challenges of our time: approximately 200 species disappear every day, putting entire ecosystems at risk. On the other hand, the Ecosystem Services approach offers innovative ways to develop rural economies and manage territories sustainably. Central-BIC aims to identify and promote these opportunities by testing pilot cases and building an active network of stakeholders, communities, and businesses.

Central Europe Biodiversity Innovative Communities (Central-BIC)

Central Europe faces significant biodiversity loss due to unsustainable ecosystem management. The Central-BIC project addresses this challenge by developing innovative tools and methodologies to support rural communities in transitioning towards sustainable ecosystem practices.

The project actively involves producers and consumers in testing tailored solutions across three key supply chains: livestock, agriculture, and integrated tourism. A cornerstone of Central-BIC is the establishment of a network of Biodiversity Stewardship Communities (BSCs), which promote replicable best practices for habitat protection.

On April 15, 2025, Regione Liguria and ECECE held an online technical meeting in preparation for the upcoming project gathering scheduled for May 6 in Kraków.

Erasmus+ Promoting Circular Economy Thinking and Opportunities among NEETs and low-skills adults 2022- 1-ES01-KA220-ADU-000086651

Today, the consortium partners of the Erasmus+ project "Promoting Circular Economy Thinking and Opportunities among NEETs and low-skilled adults" gathered to present the new online courses hosted on our Moodle platform.

The circular economy involves creating markets that provide incentives to reuse products instead of discarding them and extracting new resources. This project brings together organizations from Spain, Romania, Austria, Greece, and Italy, working collaboratively to empower NEETs (young people not in education, employment, or training) and low-skilled adults. Our goal is to equip them with the essential skills and tools needed to harness the potential of the circular economy, thus easing their entry into the labor market and contributing to a fairer and more sustainable economy.

Central Europe Biodiversity Innovative Communities- CE0200652

Ecece is partner in the Central Europe Biodiversity Innovative Communities project. Central Europe is challenged by a loss of biodiversity caused by an unsustainable management of ecosystems. Many rural communities miss support for a transition of their ecosystems. This shortcoming is tackled by the Central-BIC project, in which the partners develop new tools and methodologies for managing ecosystems sustainably. They involve producers and consumers directly in testing tailored solutions for three supply chains: livestock, agriculture, and integrated tourism. Activities include the set-up of a network of Biodiversity Stewardship Communities that offers replicable good practices for habitat protection. The project officially started in June 2024 and will last till November 2026

Interreg Central Europe - Central Bic

online Kick off Meeting CE0200652 (Central Europe Biodiversity Innovative Communities)

Klagenfurt – Ecece news - 17th june 2024 -

Today Ecece and all project's partners, guided by Regione Liguria, met online for the first kick off meeting . Central-BIC aims to contribute to the central EU response to the loss of biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (ESs), the lack of awareness and recognition of their values by rural communities and consumers, and to stem the conflict between rural communities and nature conservation.

This challenge concerns local, regional and national public authorities, parks, NGOs, universities, SMEs, business support organizations and the general public.

At the present, there is still too weak capacity of rural communities to recognize the value and broader spectrum (environmental, social and economic) potentialities of biodiversity, sustainable uses of ESs and related market capacities, and conservation policies are still anchored to bans, subsidies and incentives.

For the ecological transition of the rural economy and to promote the sustainable management of ESs, stakeholders need to be provided with new and alternative tools for the implementation of SEs that are not just welfare: a challenge envisaged by EU strategies and not yet met. To this common challenge Central-BIC wants to offer new tools.

To make the change possible, cooperation is central because to be effective in protecting biodiversity or changing consumption models, action needs to be taken in a broader territorial context and methods need to be compared and applied in different situations, providing room for flexibility, fine- tuning and replicability of tested practical results.

So we collaborate with stakeholders, naturalists, social and economic experts, local actors both at local territories and overall partnership levels level to jointly implement innovative solutions and methodologies. We will carry on PESs mechanisms through the broadest and most articulated local community involvement and participation, coaching activities, testing and consumer engagement.

February, Bitcoin's price surged by 45%, surpassing $60k for the first time since late 2021 and ending the month just 9% below its all-time high.

Despite mixed performance in traditional assets, crypto markets delivered solid returns, supported by steady inflows into new spot Bitcoin ETFs and positive fundamental developments.

Klagenfurt Ecece – Erasmus+ Stealth project

Am 29. Juni 2023 trafen sich Partner des Stealth Erasmus+ Projekts zu einem virtuellen Treffen, um den aktuellen Stand der Projektumsetzung zu besprechen. Das Treffen diente als Gelegenheit, den Fortschritt zu bewerten und die nächste Phase dieser bahnbrechenden Initiative zu planen.

Das Stealth-Erasmus+-Projekt zielt darauf ab, das Ernährungsbewusstsein in Schulen zu fördern und die Bedeutung von Lebensmitteln als kulturelles Erbe zu erforschen. Mit dem erfolgreichen Abschluss von PR1, bei dem es um die Entwicklung des Stealth Toolkits ging, haben die Partner nun die Umsetzungsphase ins Visier genommen.

Innovativer Lehrplan:

Das Stealth Toolkit stellt eine umfassende Ressource dar, die darauf abzielt, das Bewusstsein der Schüler für Ernährung zu schärfen. Es befasst sich auch mit dem reichen kulturellen Erbe, das mit Essen verbunden ist, und ermutigt die Schüler, ihre kulinarischen Traditionen zu schätzen und zu bewahren.

Reichweite erweitern:

Während das Projekt in die Umsetzungsphase eintritt, sind die Partner bestrebt, das durch das Stealth Toolkit gewonnene Wissen mit anderen Schulen und Bildungseinrichtungen zu teilen. Die in dieser Phase entwickelten Leitlinien werden den Weg für die Replikation des innovativen Lehrplans in verschiedenen Bildungsumgebungen ebnen.

Auswirkungen und Veränderungen:

Durch die Einbeziehung von Ernährungsbewusstsein und kultureller Wertschätzung in die Bildung zielt das Stealth-Erasmus+-Projekt darauf ab, Schüler zu befähigen, gesündere Lebensmittel zu wählen und gleichzeitig ein tieferes Verständnis für kulturelle Vielfalt zu fördern. Durch diesen transformativen Ansatz verspricht sich das Projekt positive Auswirkungen auf die Gesundheit und das Wohlbefinden der Studierenden sowie auf die Erhaltung des kulturellen Erbes.

Partnerschaften für den Erfolg:

Der Erfolg des Stealth Erasmus+ Projekts ist ein Beweis für das Engagement und die Zusammenarbeit aller teilnehmenden Partner. Ihr Engagement, positive Veränderungen in den Bereichen Bildung und Ernährung voranzutreiben, ist lobenswert.

Erasmus+ B-Skills Project Training LTTA Malaga

12-16th June 2023

Malaga 12-16th June 2023 Ecece (www.ecece.org) attended the Erasmus+ LTTA related to the project B-Skills - Upskilling adults learners with Blockchain basic skills, project n. 2021-1-IT02-KA220-ADU-000033410

Despite the need for blockchain basic literacy, actually there are no or very few educational paths addressed to adult learners. Blockchain is a complex concept to understand. Until recently, there were no formal education courses on Blockchain. Most courses focusing on this technology are for IT specialists and software developers. There is still a large gap in consumable and easily accessible resources to learn about this disruptive technology. In addition, there is also some confusion and lack of clarity of how this technology could be beneficial to the wider public.

The B-Skills Transnational Training Course (TTC), held from the 12th to the 16th of June 2023, was an exceptional learning experience. The Hosting organizations University of Málaga and Málaga TechPark provided a perfect organization of the events and training training program. The visit to the Digital Enterprise Show (DES) was a great idea, in order to expose participants to the latest advancements in the digital industry. The agenda of the DES offered a diverse range of insightful sessions, providing valuable insights into the digital landscape and its potential impact on various sectors including education. The presentation of the coworking space “Link” by UMA offered participants an in-depth understanding of this innovative services for startups. The presentations by industry experts Francisco Javier Perles Gálvez ( BTS Automation & Blockchain Practice Leader) from Viewnext, and Isaac Agudo Ruiz, CEO from Decentralized Security, were particularly interesting. Their expertise into blockchain provided valuable perspectives on future trends in these field. A special thanks to the three organizers from the hosting institutions Ruben Rios, Isaac Agudo Ruiz and Aline Daniel for their meticulous planning and dedication, which contributed to the perfect success of the training.

15 feb 2022 ECECE nimmt am europäischen Projekt B-Skills teil, um neue Schulungswege und Materialien für erwachsene Lernende in Blockchain bereitzustellen

Im Rahmen seiner digitalen Strategie beteiligt sich ECECE am europäischen Projekt B-Skills, das kürzlich im Rahmen des Programms Erasmus Plus genehmigt wurde, um erwachsene Lernende mit Blockchain-Kompetenzen zu qualifizieren.

Tatsächlich gibt es trotz der Notwendigkeit einer Blockchain-Grundbildung tatsächlich keine oder nur sehr wenige Bildungswege, die sich an erwachsene Lernende richten. Blockchain ist ein komplexes Konzept, das man verstehen muss. Bis vor kurzem gab es keine formellen Ausbildungskurse zu dieser Technologie. Die meisten Kurse zu dieser Technologie richten sich an IT-Spezialisten und Softwareentwickler. Es gibt immer noch eine große Lücke bei verbrauchbaren und leicht zugänglichen Ressourcen, um mehr über diese bahnbrechende Technologie zu erfahren. Darüber hinaus gibt es auch einige Verwirrung und Unklarheit darüber, wie diese Technologie für die breite Öffentlichkeit von Nutzen sein könnte.

Daher zielt das Projekt darauf ab, Pädagogen und erwachsene Lernende mit Schulungs- und Unterstützungsmaterialien bei der Erlangung grundlegender digitaler Fähigkeiten im Zusammenhang mit der Blockchain-Technologie zu unterstützen. Die erwachsenen Lernenden erwerben diese grundlegenden Fähigkeiten durch flexible und motivierende Schulungspfade, Materialien und Werkzeuge, um sie darauf vorzubereiten, die Vorteile der Blockchain-Technologie in ihrem täglichen Leben und ihrer Arbeit zu nutzen.

Die Partnerschaft umfasst sieben sich ergänzende Einrichtungen aus sechs verschiedenen Ländern: Learnable (Italien), Unternehmensexperte für disruptive Bildungsmethoden, der Technologiepark von Andalusien und die Universität von Malaga (Spanien), das Europäische Zentrum für unternehmerische Kompetenz und Exzellenz – ECECE ( Österreich), das Kreativstudio Flow Productions (Portugal) und die gemeinnützigen Organisationen Edu Playground (Bulgarien) und Social Hackers (Griechenland).

Das Projekt zielt darauf ab, das Angebot an qualitativ hochwertigen Schulungsangeboten für erwachsene Lernende durch die Schaffung flexibler und ansprechender Schulungen mit Schwerpunkt auf Blockchain zu erhöhen. Dadurch können Erwachsene von einer der disruptivsten Technologien der letzten Jahre profitieren und ihren Zugang zu digitalen Diensten in allen Lebensbereichen und ihre Beschäftigungsmöglichkeiten verbessern.

Das Projekt wird mehrere greifbare Ergebnisse hervorbringen, wie z. B. ein B-Skills-Handbuch, um Pädagogen unterstützende Materialien und Werkzeuge zur Verfügung zu stellen, die für die Implementierung, Unterstützung, Verwaltung und Bewertung effektiver Blockchain-Schulungen für erwachsene Lernende erforderlich sind; ein spielbasierter Online-Simulator, der auf visuelle Weise nachbildet, wie Blockchain funktioniert. Es wird erwachsenen Lernenden ermöglichen, komplexe Konzepte im Zusammenhang mit Blockchain auf einfache Weise zu verstehen und eine zugängliche und motivierende Umgebung bereitzustellen, um das Engagement erwachsener Lernender zu fördern. Und schließlich ein offener webbasierter Schulungskurs für erwachsene Lernende, der den Erwerb grundlegender digitaler Kompetenzen in Bezug auf Blockchain unterstützt. Es wird erwachsenen Lernenden den Zugang zu digitalen Diensten und Beschäftigungsmöglichkeiten ermöglichen, die von Blockchain bereitgestellt werden.
