Abstract
This is the final report of the DIGCOMP study. It presents a detailed framework for the development of digital competence of all
citizens. The framework is the output of a wide stakeholder consultation. It consists of detailed descriptions of all competences
that are necessary to be proficient in digital environments and describes them in terms of knowledge, skills, and attitudes. Three
proficiency levels are suggested for each competence. The report provides as well a self-assessment grid for mapping digital
competence levels.
