The Digital Curriculum (DiCu) project brought together educators, researchers, and institutional leaders from five Danish universities to explore how digitalisation is reshaping the landscape of higher education—particularly within the social sciences and humanities. The initiative ran from 2020-2024 as a national collaboration aimed at developing and integrating digital competencies across disciplinary teaching. 

Purpose and Rationale

Today, digital competencies undoubtedly constitute one of the most important generic skills that candidates from the humanities and social sciences must possess when entering the labour marked as they graduate. Digitalisation creates an increasing demand for understanding the logics of digital ways of working and for translaters of specialist knowledge. However, it is crucial that the acquisition of digital competencies not only takes place by adding to the academic skills of the graduates but also is integrated into the acquisition of the respective disciplines.
