Micro-GEAR will support structural reforms in the higher education sector of Georgia and Armenia, with the aim of introducing and facilitating the broad proliferation of micro-credentials as a tool for improving relevance, quality and flexibility of higher education. The project aligns with the European Council's Recommendation on micro-credentials for lifelong learning and employability. It aims to update National Qualifications Frameworks in two countries, establish consensus on micro-credentialing principles, promote educational activities for micro-credentials, and facilitate mutual recognition.

ArmENIC participated in the Nordic-East Asia Higher Education Research Symposium 2026 at Tampere University, Finland, held under the theme “Turbulent times in Higher Education and Society.”

The Micro-GEAR consortium held its board management meeting, bringing together project partners to review the latest project developments, discuss key deliverables and coordinate the final implementation activities.

National Erasmus+ Office in Georgia organized an information and peer-learning event for organisations active in the Higher Education (HE) and Vocational Education and Training (VET) sectors.
