Micro-credentials in Ireland: Lessons learned and recommendations for German Higher Education Institutions

In Ireland, the project MicroCreds provides a framework for distributing and establishing micro-credentials. Earlier this year, a delegation sponsored by Hochschulforum Digitalisierung visited three universities in Dublin and one in Waterford to learn more about their system and how standards for using micro-credentials could be established in Germany. This blog post showcases the insights gained during the delegation trip to Ireland on the topic of micro-credentials in January 2025, funded by HFD.
