A micro-credential is a certification of short-term learning, obtained through innovative teaching programmes and a skills-based approach. This model is establishing itself as a flexible and essential solution to meet the needs of a constantly evolving labour market and society, enabling anyone to update and enhance their profile of knowledge, skills and competences in a personalised and targeted way. 

The growing recognition of micro-credentials at European level is reflected in the European Union Council Recommendation of June 16, 2022, a key document that has defined the approach, constituent elements and principles for their design and issuance. This regulatory framework aims to support the development and cross-sectoral recognition of micro-credentials amongst institutions, businesses and sectors, establishing itself as an essential pillar of the European Education Area.

Universities play a crucial role in the development and implementation of micro-credentials, both within the European and Italian educational landscapes. This academic commitment ensures that such qualifications maintain scientific rigour and educational relevance, guaranteeing that learning outcomes are assessed against transparent criteria and provide specific knowledge, skills and competences of high value.
