One platform. Different benefits.

Whether you teach, learn or manage a European project, European Skills Lab helps you make better use of open educational resources.

Spend less time searching. More time teaching.

Materials from different European projects gathered in one place.
Free-text search across organisations, projects, folders and files, plus an AI-powered “meaning” search that finds material even when your words differ from ours.
Preview PDFs, images and videos in the browser, then download what you need.
The AI Assistant finds materials from a description in your own words and lets you bundle the files you choose into a downloadable course pack — you pick the files; nothing is bundled for you.
EQF levels shown on projects and on individual files, so you can judge the level before you download.
European examples, cases, tools and methods you can bring into your own teaching.

Give your project resources a lasting home.

A home for your educational resources while the project runs — and beyond the funded period.
Hosting taken care of, currently free of charge for EU projects.
A structured presentation of your project: project page, logo, the organisations involved, the funding programme, and your materials tree with descriptions.
Reach educators and learners beyond your original network — the published pages are open to search engines and AI crawlers by design.
Download statistics for your own projects: totals, per-project and per-month breakdowns, most-downloaded files, file types, recent downloads and CSV export — plus the public statistics page and an embeddable download-counter badge. Evidence you can quote for dissemination, exploitation and sustainability.
Your resources become easier to discover next to related European outputs, through search and the organisation pages.
Classify your project against the European competence frameworks (EntreComp, DigComp, GreenComp, LifeComp, DigCompEdu and more) — shown on your project page, counted in the public statistics, and browsable by anyone on the competence frameworks and EQF levels pages.
Advanced impact analytics Coming soon
AI-supported navigation across large project repositories Coming soon
Connections between related materials Coming soon
Filtering search results by competence framework and EQF level Coming soon
