The AI-SECRETT project, led by the University of Valencia and co-funded by the European Union with €7.2 million under the Digital Europe Programme, sets out to empower Europe’s creative future through artificial intelligence.
AI-SECRETT (AI-Supported and Enhanced Creativity for the Triple Transition) is a four-year initiative co-funded by the European Union under the Digital Europe Programme (€7.2 million). Our core mission is to bridge cutting-edge AI innovation with human creativity, ethical responsibility, and societal relevance. We are dedicated to creating an AI-enhanced educational ecosystem that supports, rather than replaces, human innovation. This directly contributes to the EU’s Digital Decade goal of equipping 20 million ICT specialists by 2030, fostering inclusive and sustainable digital skills across the continent.
The project is designed to generate a new generation of digitally skilled professionals capable of driving Europe’s triple, digital, green, and social transitions. Our primary goals are three-fold: equipping professionals with hands-on expertise in advanced AI technologies (especially generative and predictive AI); fostering creative empowerment through learning pathways targeted at the cultural and creative sectors; and promoting the ethical, human-centric use of AI, aligning all educational content with societal values and EU policy, including the European Green Deal and the New European Bauhaus.
AI-SECRETT is led by the University of Valencia and brings together a robust consortium of 23 partners from 12 European countries, spanning academia, research centers, SMEs, and public institutions. This diverse and interdisciplinary network ensures cross-sector collaboration and a broad, cross-border impact. By integrating industry partners (e.g., CINK Venturing) and cultural organizations (e.g., Culturalink), we guarantee that our joint master’s degree and shorter training modules are practice-oriented, market-aware, and rooted in real-world business needs and cultural transformation.
