Abstract: The European Digital Competence Framework for Consumers, also known as DigComp for Consumers, offers a tool to improve consumers’ digital competence. Consumer digital competence is here defined as the competence consumers need to function actively, safely and assertively in the digital marketplace. This definition builds on the previous work done on consumers’ competence and adapts it to digital environment thanks to the use of DigComp 2.0 framework as a starting point. This report introduces the conceptual reference framework of DigComp for Consumers that outlines 14 competences and further gives examples of each competence in the array of knowledge, skills and attitudes.
