European frameworks.
Human-centred research
EU&ACER’s research and intervention design is deeply anchored in European Commission reference frameworks and high-level health, environmental, and human rights agendas.
European Competence Frameworks for an Inclusive Society and Twin Transitions:
Embedding environmental responsibility, climate literacy, circular thinking, and sustainability competences across institutional learning structures, with adapted methodologies for diverse learning abilities, migrant communities, and vulnerable populations.
Building accessible digital literacy, data dignity, cyber-safety, and conscious digital wellbeing to support safe, balanced technological engagement for vulnerable youth, SEN learners, and marginalized migrant backgrounds.
Fostering personal, social, and learning-to-learn competences, emotional self-regulation, resilience, and psychosocial capacity in times of rapid societal and intercultural transition.
Equipping educators and learners—including marginalized and migrant cohorts—with agility, initiative, and future-oriented problem-solving skills.
Policy & Wellbeing
Strategic Health, Inclusion & European Policy Alignment
The Academy’s holistic frameworks are systematically informed by the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (UNCRPD), the European Disability Rights Strategy, the EU Action Plan on Integration and Inclusion, the Council of the European Union’s Recommendations on Mental Health, the World Health Organization (WHO) mental wellbeing guidelines, the European Brain Council’s Brain Health Summit, and leading global initiatives such as the Z Zurich Foundation wellbeing research.
