*General objective was to establish a transnational collaboration between partners involved and apply innovative approaches for addressing their target groups. *Specific objectives (SO): -SO1: Establish a network of universities, research institutions, municipalities sharing common values regarding digital/green transformation. -SO2: Establish a digital/green knowledge base bringing theory and practice, by collecting good practice examples, producing accessible and easy-to-read publications on these topics. -SO3: Identify digital/green skills needed and set up an appropriate curriculum. -SO4: Identify existing knowledge level and awareness on the digital/green European agenda and develop sectoral skills strategies and methodologies.
Municipalities are in the centre of digital and green transition. More experienced municipalities with a better background and potential, can provide examples for other municipalities. DiGreen supported the international exchange of digital and green good practice between municipalities. *Digital and Green topics are essential for the entire society, and for the municipalities in particular. Digital and Green topics are interlinked and depending on each other. Effectively implemented digital solutions can lead to and be a means for reaching sustainable goals. *Digital and green topics needs to be implemented in non-technical HE study programmes. Public administration, management, policy, and related study programmes, profiling graduates for future employment at the municipal public bodies, should be improved to convey digital and green skills. *DiGreen aimed to tackle digital and green skill gaps in HE and municipal practice. The incorporation of digital and green learning in HE, where this is not a primary focus and in municipal practice, where there is the need for practical use of such knowledge, were targeted. Involvement of municipal practitioners, who may be a left-out group regarding digital and green skills was emphasised.
