General information
- Short Summary
- A French EdTech R&D SME created in 2017 is seeking to join an existing or forming European consortium applying to DIGITAL-2026-SKILLS-10-EDTECH. The SME offers expertise in scientific and pedagogical evaluation, learning-impact assessment, AI/XR and access to French education and VET pilot environments. A consortium experienced in European EdTech acceleration, ideally linked to the European Digital Education Hub, is sought.
- Full Description
-
The DIGITAL-2026-SKILLS-10-EDTECH call aims to establish a European accelerator supporting innovative EdTech startups and SMEs in developing, testing and bringing their educational solutions closer to the market. The project will build on previous European Digital Education Hub Accelerator activities.
The consortium will organise the selection and support of EdTech companies, help them develop and test their solutions, organise pilots in schools, vocational training organisations, higher education institutions and other learning environments, and support their access to the European education market. The consortium sought should already be constituted or in the process of being constituted and should bring together the capabilities needed to coordinate the European action, manage the accelerator and its calls, and provide access to educational pilot sites.
A French EdTech R&D SME, proposes to join this consortium as a complementary partner for the evaluation and validation of the solutions supported by the accelerator. Its contribution could include evaluation methods, user testing, assessment of educational and learning impact, support for pilots in France, and, where relevant, expertise in AI and immersive technologies.
The company is therefore primarily seeking contact with the coordinator or a member of an existing or forming consortium for DIGITAL-2026-SKILLS-10-EDTECH, particularly a consortium with experience in European EdTech projects and accelerator programmes and, ideally, knowledge of or links to the European Digital Education Hub.
The project is expected to last approximately 36 months.

Partner Sought
- Expected Role of a Partner
- The partner sought is the coordinator or a core member of an existing or forming European consortium preparing a proposal for DIGITAL-2026-SKILLS-10-EDTECH. The consortium should have experience in European EdTech projects and accelerator programmes and should already cover, or be in the process of covering, the main capabilities required to operate the accelerator, manage open calls/support to EdTech companies and organise pilots in educational environments. Knowledge of or links to the European Digital Education Hub would be particularly relevant. The partner would assess the possible integration of the French Edtech company into the consortium as a complementary partner for scientific and pedagogical evaluation, user testing, learning-impact assessment, pilot validation in France and, where relevant, AI/XR expertise. The partnership sought is a research cooperation agreement to apply to the DIGITAL-2026-SKILLS-10-EDTECH call for proposals.
