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.

Within the framework of the EU-funded Micro-GEAR project another successful working meeting was held at Georgian Technical University.

As part of the EU-funded Micro-GEAR project the key regional workshop titled "Micro-credentials for Higher Education Systems of Georgia and Armenia: South Caucasus Lighthouse Project" was held at Yerevan State University bringing together higher education experts, policymakers, and international partners to strengthen micro-credential systems across the region.

The Management Board Meeting of the Micro-GEAR project was held online. The meeting covered several important agenda items related to ongoing work and upcoming project milestones.
