MICROCASA is the first international project aimed at sharing the European experiences and building institutional capacities in Southeast Asia to co-create, promote and deliver short competence-oriented educational units leading to micro-credentials with the goal of solving various economic and social problems. Focusing on different aspects of micro-credentialing, for instance course content co-creation, educational technology, transparent quality assurance, technologies for issuance and verification of digital micro-credentials, the project builds a comprehensive set of competences and technical capacities in Southeast Asian Universities. Leveraging on the partner networks, as well as on the links to the national educational authorities and regional initiatives, MICROCASA has an ambition to have a systemic impact on the ASEAN region as a whole.

MICROCASA project aims to contribute to further modernization and improving responsiveness of the system of Higher Education in Malaysia, Indonesia and the Philippines by building the capacities in local Universities to co-design and deliver short, competences-based and transparently-assessed courses leading to the issuance of digital micro-credentials, as well as by supporting their mutual recognition.
