Abstract
The WENUS project aims to enhance VET in sustainable wood and timber construction by integrating circular economy principles and 3D printing technologies into the curriculum, addressing the industry's evolving needs for green and digital skills, and promoting innovation, sustainability, and efficiency. WENUS aims to create a student-centred curriculum that integrates CE principles into timber construction, coupled with tailored training content featuring 3DP exercises. It plans to launch an eLearning platform to broaden access and enrich vocational training with essential green and digital skills, thereby fostering greater sustainability and innovation within the sector. Additionally, the project will provide a comprehensive guide for trainers and undertake widespread dissemination activities
