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.

On the 24th of October, in the context of the European Vocational Skills Week, the European Digital Credentials Team hosted a webinar on how European Digital Credentials for Learning (EDCs) can be used in the context of vocational education and training.

Last week the European Commission launched the European Learning Model (ELM) Data Model Browser. This tool allows you to easily navigate and explore the different elements of the ELM and the connections between its over 480 properties. The data model allows for the description of all data related to learning, including formal, non-formal and informal learning.

June 2023 marked the time for the new release of the European Digital Credential for Learning (EDC) infrastructure (version 2.0 – formerly 1.8). This release includes major changes that will improve the interoperability of EDC with other existing initiatives as well as new improvements to the existing tools. These improvements together with the future development roadmap were presented in a Webinar.
