The EOS Foundation is a non-governmental organisation established in 1999. It helps bridge the digital divide and build a society in which technology is accessible, useful and relevant to everyone. For more than 25 years, EOS has supported the development of digital skills in education and across communities, with particular attention to individuals and groups at risk of exclusion.
EOS develops and implements national and European programmes focusing on digital skills, digital education, social inclusion, artificial intelligence, online safety and civic participation. The Foundation’s projects support teachers, students, young people, adults, librarians, trainers and organisations contributing to community development.
EOS combines practical local experience with European expertise and digital competence frameworks such as DigComp and DigCompEdu. The Foundation translates these frameworks into training programmes, educational resources, tools and learning experiences tailored to beneficiaries’ real needs. Throughout more than 20 years of collaboration with the education system, EOS has contributed to the development of the ICT curriculum and trained tens of thousands of teachers.
Recent initiatives address the emerging challenges of the digital society: training teachers based on the DigCompEdu framework through the PRODIGY programme, promoting the ethical and responsible use of generative artificial intelligence through GenAI Edu, transforming libraries into local digital inclusion hubs through DigLib, and creating innovative learning environments through Minecraft Education.
EOS works with public institutions, schools, universities, libraries, non-governmental organisations, companies and European networks. The Foundation is a founding member of the Coalition for Digital Education and contributed to developing the European community that later became the ALL DIGITAL network. Through these partnerships, EOS facilitates the exchange of good practices, the development of sustainable solutions, and the integration of digital education into public policies and services.
EOS envisions an inclusive society in which everyone can use technology confidently, critically, safely and creatively – for education, professional development, civic participation and a better quality of life.
