This is exactly where the DATA-READY project comes into focus. DATA-READY is based on the core idea that data literacy is not just an additional digital skill, but a fundamental pillar of digital competence, especially in compulsory education. DigComp 3.0 emphasises this view by placing […] - [Call for external services](https://data-ready.eu/call-for-external-services/): In the context of the project’s works a call for services of an external evaluator is issued.

Policymakers, researchers, and educators are recognizing that the ability to understand, interpret, and act upon data is not just a digital skill, it is a civic and professional necessity. Two major EU-funded projects released in 2025, DATA-READY (D2.1) and EVIDALI (D3.1), shed light on how data literacy is being conceptualized, implemented, and measured within compulsory education. Though both reports share a common goal (to strengthen data-informed practice in schools) they approach the challenge from distinct angles. DATA-READY maps strategies and policy frameworks for […] - [Completion of all the Engagement Workshops with stakeholders](https://data-ready.eu/completion-of-all-the-engagement-workshops-with-stakeholders/): The DATA-READY project has successfully completed its first milestone of stakeholder engagement with five national workshops held across Greece, Germany, Cyprus, Portugal, and Poland. These events brought together policymakers, educators, researchers, and school leaders to co-create a shared vision for integrating Data Literacy (DL) into compulsory education. Key takeaways: Broad consensus that Data Literacy is a core 21st-century competence, vital for critical thinking, ethical awareness, and informed decision-making. Recognition of common challenges — lack of coherent frameworks, limited teacher training, and fragmented initiatives. Strong momentum to collaborate on a European Data Literacy Framework and teacher training model that turn policy […] - [Newsletter Issue 1 - Published!](https://data-ready.eu/newsletter-issue-1-published/): The first DATA-READY Newsletter is now available!
