Uni Systems participates in the Code4Europe Consortium, an international alliance of over 40 leading educational and digital industry stakeholders from 20 European countries, aiming to implement innovative new approaches to the digital upskilling of young people. Τhe Code4Europe Consortium, funded by the European Commission, announces a new phase for EU Code Week, and is set to revolutionise digital education and skills across Europe.
