Europass Mobility: an updated template and steps towards digitalisation

Europass Mobility, first introduced in 2004, is a well-established template which describes the skills acquired abroad on mobility experiences for learning or work. Europass Mobility can help communicate the new skills and experiences acquired during a traineeship, volunteering or a learning period abroad in a comparable way. Following a consultation of the National Europass Centres and Erasmus+ National Agencies in 2021, a project group was set up to modernise and simplify the template as well as provide the next steps towards its digitisation. 

European Digital Credentials for Learning

The European Digital Credentials for Learning (EDC) infrastructure is a set of freely available services and software to support the issuance of authentic, tamper-evident digital credentials (whether diplomas, micro-credentials, certificates of participation or other) across Europe.

Een Europese digitale leercredential(EDC) is een verifieerbare, digitale versie van een credential die door een organisatie aan een lerende wordt afgegeven om zijn of haar leerresultaten te documenteren. Het gaat onder meer om diploma’s, opleidingscertificaten, microcredentials, deelnamecertificaten enz. Ze kunnen worden afgegeven in alle EU- en Europass-talen en worden ondertekend met een elektronisch zegel (een vorm van digitale handtekening van een betrouwbare instelling of organisatie). 

Micro-Credentials and European Digital Credentials for Learning

As a contribution to the European Year of Skills, on 24 April 2024, the European Digital Credentials for Learning team hosted a webinar focusing on the synergies between micro-credentials and European Digital Credentials for Learning (EDCs). European Commission representatives, Koen Nomden, Isabel Ladrón Arroyo and Céline Jambon, provided an overview of the policy context within which both micro-credentials and EDCs evolve and operate.
