AI-SECRETT (AI-Supported and Enhanced Creativity for the Triple Transition) is a four-year initiative co-funded by the European Union under the Digital Europe Programme (€7.2 million). Our core mission is to bridge cutting-edge AI innovation with human creativity, ethical responsibility, and societal relevance. We are dedicated to creating an AI-enhanced educational ecosystem that supports, rather than replaces, human innovation. This directly contributes to the EU’s Digital Decade goal of equipping 20 million ICT specialists by 2030, fostering inclusive and sustainable digital skills across the continent.
The project is designed to generate a new generation of digitally skilled professionals capable of driving Europe’s triple, digital, green, and social transitions. Our primary goals are three-fold: equipping professionals with hands-on expertise in advanced AI technologies (especially generative and predictive AI); fostering creative empowerment through learning pathways targeted at the cultural and creative sectors; and promoting the ethical, human-centric use of AI, aligning all educational content with societal values and EU policy, including the European Green Deal and the New European Bauhaus.
AI-SECRETT is led by the University of Valencia and brings together a robust consortium of 23 partners from 12 European countries, spanning academia, research centers, SMEs, and public institutions. This diverse and interdisciplinary network ensures cross-sector collaboration and a broad, cross-border impact. By integrating industry partners (e.g., CINK Venturing) and cultural organizations (e.g., Culturalink), we guarantee that our joint master’s degree and shorter training modules are practice-oriented, market-aware, and rooted in real-world business needs and cultural transformation.
Europe today counts nearly 10 million ICT professionals, but fewer than 20% are women. Achieving the Digital Decade’s 2030 goals will require coordinated efforts to close both skills and gender gaps. Events like the 20×30 Summit create vital bridges between research, policy, and practice, empowering projects such as AISECRETT and AI4-GOV to integrate real-world insights into their methodologies. The Summit will take place in Brussels from 12–14 November 2025.
Stay tuned for programme updates and join the dialogue on how Europe can connect, learn, and lead its digital transformation.
