MICROBOL framework published

The MICROBOL project partners and experts publish their Common Framework for Micro-credentials in the European Higher Education Area (EHEA). This is the culmination of two years of work in the framework of the MICROBOL project, as it builds on the expertise built up in working groups, a Europe-wide survey and general interaction with numerous partners in the field. The framework represents the consensus on micro-credentials reached to this point. It shows how the Bologna key commitments are applicable to micro-credentials, as it zooms in on Quality Assurance, Recognition and Qualifications Framework and ECTS.

The framework is presented during the final conference of the MICROBOL project on 8 March 2022.

The framework can also be consulted here:
