On November 13th and 14th, COEUS project partners gathered in the beautiful city of Graz, Austria, for the second project meeting. Building on the discussions from the first meeting and the initial project phase, partners began preparing for the core pilot activities, which will include training for trainers and SMEs on Corporate Digital Responsibility (CDR). A particular focus was placed on selecting the trainers responsible for educating SMEs on responsible digital skills, with activities set to begin in 2025. Participants also shared their experiences in engaging stakeholders to raise awareness of the project and its initiatives.
On the second day, the focus turned to the first package of activities—specifically the structure and initial draft of the SME upskilling and reskilling programme, designed to enhance sustainable and responsible digital skills among SMEs. This session was attended in person by local Austrian SMEs and online by stakeholders from various countries. Participants engaged in group discussions, followed by a larger joint session, to collaboratively structure the training material and programme. This led to a rich exchange of feedback and ideas, which will help the partners develop effective CDR training and skill-building strategies.
After addressing communication and management topics, the partners agreed to meet again in May 2025 in the Czech Republic for the next phase of the project, continuing to develop and implement strategies for SME training.
Resolvo is proud to be part of this project, supporting SMEs in acquiring critical digital skills for a responsible and sustainable digital future, as CDR is a key and expanding area for the company.
