The GenESG project is an innovative European initiative that brings together the fields of sustainable finance and artificial intelligence. It responds to the pressing need to combine green and digital skills in higher education and is co-funded by the Erasmus+ programme.
The main objective of the project is to improve understanding of environmental, social and governance (ESG) topics through advanced teaching methods such as AI-supported microlearning. GenESG is therefore developing new educational tools, including chatbots, to help students learn about and assess their knowledge of sustainable practices in finance.
GenESG is aimed at higher education teachers, education professionals and policymakers at both national and European level. The focus is on the responsible and safe use of artificial intelligence in higher education institutions and on promoting digital literacy in the field of ESG.
The fourth and final GenESG project newsletter presents the project’s key achievements as it comes to an end on 30 November 2026, as well as opportunities for the continued use of the educational solutions developed. Particular attention is given to the GenESG online academy, which brings together learning modules, videos, guidelines for educators, an AI tutor and interactive escape rooms.
The newsletter also highlights the final project meeting, which took place at DOBA University of Applied Sciences in Maribor from 7 to 9 October 2026. Project partners reviewed the results achieved, exchanged experiences from piloting the online academy and developed recommendations for integrating the materials and methods developed into higher education programmes.
An important part of the newsletter is also dedicated to the sustainability and transferability of the project results. The GenESG online academy and the educational materials developed will remain freely available to educators after the project ends, allowing GenESG to continue contributing to the development of green and digital skills in higher education.
