Microcredentials Exchange System for Higher Education in Europe
MESHE aims to foster a strong culture of lifelong learning by enhancing the understanding and value of microcredentials across Europe. As microcredentials become more widely available, MESHE seeks to raise awareness among learners of their benefits and opportunities. It will test a unified European system that enables higher education institutions to exchange microcredentials seamlessly, strengthening collaboration, quality assurance, and cross-border recognition.
Coordinated by eucen, the project brings together more than ten partners and external experts. Running from January 2026 to December 2028, MESHE will deliver an advocacy pack for learners, a guide to building trustworthy collaboration on microcredential exchange, and policy.
