Welcome
The aim of the project is the introduction and
adaptationof EUCIPCore (EuropeanCertifications
of Informatics Professionals) established by the
Council of European Professional Informatics
Society in the Hungarian educational system.
EUCIP Core - a European level recognized IT
qualification - is an answer to the needs of the
labour market: the companies need so called "T-
Shaped" professionals who enter the workforce
with a strong business understanding; ‘soft’ skills
and knowledge of leading-edge technology, who
are competent in the fields of business
management and are skilled in organisation and
project management, but also possess the
essential skills for teamwork.

Leonardo program of lifelong learning as an
innovation transfer by a consortium of ten
European institutions from Hungary, Italy and
Ireland with leadership of ITStudy Informational
Educational Research Centre. The owner of the
EUCIP Core is represented by the Italian
Organization AICA (Association of Italian
Information Technology).
All partners in the project provide the students

academic knowledge of business in the modules
the project provides the students with the
business attitude they will need.
