MICROBOL – Micro-credentials linked to the Bologna Key Commitments

MICROBOL is a biennial project (2020-2022) co-financed by the Erasmus + KA3 Support to Policy Reform program, which aims to support the implementation of reforms in the European Higher Education Area.

The project is linked to the objectives of the new Erasmus + program and the European Higher Education Area to increase access to Higher Education as well as continuous learning for all, regardless of age or experience.

Eligible to participate in this project are both Higher Education students and anyone who wants to improve his/her knowledge, skills and abilities.

To bridge the gap between formal education leading to traditional qualifications, e.g degrees, and non-formal education, but also the rapidly changing needed for acquiring and developing knowledge for the labour market, there is a need to create new flexible ways of learning and teaching, such as short learning programs and micro-credentials. These can be offered through formal or non-formal education with online or face-to-face lessons.

The Department of Higher Education participates as a full member and partner in the project. More information can be found on the project’s website MICROPOL: https://microcredentials.eu/
