Micro-credentials got more and more attention in restructuring the Higher Education in Europe. The European Skills Agenda for sustainable competitiveness, social fairness and resilience also proposed the development of an European approach to micro-credentials as one of its 12 flagship actions. To foster the development of this approach, a European Consultation Group on Micro-Credentials discussed the core terminology underpinning micro-credentials, and contributed to a first identification of critical building blocks which should be features in a European approach for micro-credentials in higher education in the EU.
EDEN supports the above initiatives by providing expert support and performing research in this area. As part of this effort we try to collect information from our members and partners to characterize their progress in developing and applying micro-credentials in their own institutions. You can find the collected list of short learning courses recognized with micro-credentials here.
