Abstract

This paper describes how and why the Italian university system has embedded the EUCIP certification scheme in its curricula. The paper discusses the issue of certification versus university degree, the approach to the different parts of the EUCIP scheme in the Italian academia, the projects that have been carried out and those that are on-going. A few institutions have been active and some continue in the task: AICA, the Italian society affiliated to CEPIS, that holds the right to distribute and to promote the EUCIP concept in Italy; CINI, the consortium of Italian universities active in ICT , that runs the EUCIP programme within universities; Fondazione CRUI, the operative branch of the Conference of Italian Rectors, that has worked with AICA and CINI in the EUCIP4U project (2005-2007). AICA, CINI and Fondazione CRUI also run an "Observatory on ICT certification" (2000-2008) that includes EUCIP in its reports.
