Of European scope.

MicroCredX will prepare institutions to take advantage of the opportunities of unbundled, flexible earning provision models. The project will: - Work with institutional leadership in HE to identify and dismantle barriers to making course offerings more flexible via micro-credentials; - Assist institutions to extend their educational offerings in the field by integrating modules from other national and international providers. - Launch combined course offerings made up of micro-credentials, specifically tailored to emerging industrial needs. - Enable students to engage in virtual mobilities, taking advantage of these micro-credentials to enhance their studies and integrate them into their final qualifications - Establish a network of institutions active in preparing students for industry 4.0 who recognise micro-credentials from within the network for access and progression - Distil the lessons of the consortium in implementing these offerings into a set of tools which can facilitate other HEIs in following the same path

This project has been funded with support from the European Commission Erasmus + under the agreement n# KA220-HED-2F235D5E
