The actual EU Digital Agenda - as one of the seven pillars of the Europe 2020 Strategy - suggests to exploit in a better way the massive potential offered by ICTs, with the view to promote innovation, economic growth and progress. In this respect, it stipulates to consolidate the European citizens' ICT competences and skills, by improving the long-term implementation of both digital literacy and e-skills policies for the labour market. It is more than obvious that for the university students, ICT is playing an important role, enabling them to acquire the necessary competences and skills required in their studies and/or for the nowadays digital world, targeting also on helping them to be easily inserted in the labour market after finishing their studies. In this respect, in the frame of the Romanian Sectoral Operational Program for Human Resources Development 2007-2013, Valahia University Targoviste proposed the project entitled "EduWeb - New Competences Related to the Using of Multimedia, Web 2.0 and Virtual Instrumentation Applications - A Guarantee of University Degrees Quality", which tried to provide to students extensive learning opportunities and specific competences, by promoting new and innovative courses in the field of multimedia and Web 2.0 applications, answering to their needs related to introducing in the curricula more ICT based disciplines or updating the contents of the existed ones, with the view to include information and activities that exploit open-source multimedia technologies and Web 2.0 tools. The paper tries to analyse the extent to which ICTs in general, and multimedia and web 2.0 tools in particular, are perceived by the university students as reliable keys for their success, but also as appropriate factors for acquiring new competences and skills that make them to be prepared for the labour market.
