Resume The digital and sustainable transition of the construction sector requires a profound reconfiguration of both technical and human skills. The R2U – Modular Systems project, within WP6 – Capacity Building, addressed this challenge through a nationally pioneering initiative: the design of modular, flexible, and excellence‐oriented curricular programmes dedicated to industrialised construction. Innovative training pathways were developed for Levels 4, 5, and 7 of the National Qualifications Framework ( Quadro Nacional de Qualificações ‐ QNQ), conceived not merely to transmit knowledge but to transform the construction training ecosystem itself. The course structure, anchored in curricular units composed of modular learning blocks, enables adaptation to diverse professional profiles, ranging from operational technicians to engineers and architects. It integrates theoretical foundations, laboratory‐based practice, and technological immersion (BIM, Industry 4.0, digital twins, among others). More than a training programme, this initiative represents a multidisciplinary pedagogical engineering exercise, strongly supported by Portuguese universities and industry stakeholders. The initiative will culminate in a pilot demonstrator course designed to serve as a replicable model and a promoter for the qualification of industrialised construction in Portugal. This disruptive educational approach positions R2U as a strategic driver for the intelligent reindustrialisation of the construction sector, fostering skilled employability, applied innovation, and responsiveness to the ecological and digital demands of future construction.
