License for Digital Competence
Project idea
LiDiCo project offers a cross-faculty learning program that uses problem-based learning within a Virtual Collaborative Learning (VCL) scenario to train future skills and, in particular, digital skills by having students work virtually in small interdisciplinary groups on a realistic case study.
Target group
The course is aimed at students from all faculties and departments. As it is also offered in English, international students also benefit. We place a special focus on women in order to strengthen their visibility and equal opportunities in an increasingly digitalised job market.

Goal
Our goal is to provide 120 people with the "License for Digital Competence" by the end of the project (March 2026).
Our student employees Riyam and Malte joined the team in June. Malte will support us with data collection and project management, and Riyam will play a key role in organizing the mentoring workshop in September.
We are looking forward to working together!
We are pleased to announce an exciting development in our efforts to promote and support young female academics.
As part of the mentoring program of TU Dresden's Service Center Studies, we held a kick-off event where we had the opportunity to give a presentation and gather important topics and needs of our target group. This exchange was immensely enriching and gave us valuable insights into how we can best structure our program to effectively address the needs and aspirations of young female academics.
A highlight of our cooperation will be the implementation of a 3-day workshop on "Digital Empowerment", which is planned for September 2024. This workshop aims to equip participants with the necessary digital skills and tools to succeed in today's fast-paced scientific landscape. From developing technical skills to strengthening digital communication, workshop participants will learn how to effectively utilize digital resources to achieve their research goals and advance their careers.
We celebrate our project launch and present the vision of LiDiCo on our first poster:
As part of the research on the course offer, the organizational requirements for AQUA courses or Studium Generale were analyzed. The results should help other lecturers to implement similar courses. The results can be found here.
