HumaNova

Project overview

HumaNova (Excellence in Education in the Humanoid Supernova Era) is a European project focused on preparing vocational education and training (VET) systems for the growing integration of humanoid robots across industry and society. The project aims to establish a pan-European network of six Centres of Vocational Excellence (CoVEs) together with a European Humanoid Skills Alliance to support future human–humanoid collaboration in key economic sectors. Through the co-creation of EQF-aligned curricula, modular learning pathways, mobility programmes, and humanoid-supported training pilots, HumaNova seeks to equip learners, educators, and professionals with the technical and interdisciplinary skills required in the emerging humanoid era. The project also focuses on digitalisation, work-based learning, STEM talent development, and the creation of scalable educational models that can be adopted across European VET ecosystems. The project brings together a multidisciplinary consortium of educational institutions, research centres, industry stakeholders, and robotics experts working to shape the future of humanoid-enabled vocational training in Europe.
