W08: Implementing high-quality microcredentials within an international partnership

09:00 – 17:00 CEST, 9 September 2025 ‐ 8 hours

Room: J1

Workshop

While recognising the potential of microcredentials for diversifying target audiences and enhancing international cooperation and mobility, universities are trying to define ways to develop programmes aligned with the fast-changing needs of the job market. This workshop will present a model developed through multiple transnational collaborations. Stemming from an analysis of the strengths and opportunities of a university-centred attitude to innovation in education, the model centres on the key elements that higher education institutions should take into account when designing microcredentials within an international partnership. Via a role play, participants will be led to create their own microcredentials using the model proposed.

 

This workshop will help you:

• Understand the European approach to microcredentials (MCs) and relevant regulations. 
• Analyse opportunities and risks for HEIs in adopting MCs. 
• Identify stakeholder roles in successful MC implementation. 
• Gain tools and methods to design joint international MCs.
