How digital tools are transforming micro-credentials from design to delivery

Submit your masterclass proposal

Share your expertise at MCMC 2027, taking place 23–25 March 2027 in Graz, Austria.

We’re selecting masterclass sessions that help education professionals navigate the changing micro-credentials landscape.

Our programme committee reviews and replies to submissions on a rolling basis. We encourage you to submit your proposal early.

Deadline

6 December 2026

Session themes  

We welcome proposals on four key themes:

  • Micro-credentials and the workplace: Workplace learning, employer partnerships, skills-based hiring and routes back into education

  • Recognition and quality: Quality assurance, recognition frameworks, assessment integrity and trust across institutions and borders

  • Digital credentials and standards: Digital infrastructure, interoperability and preparing for proposed EU rules under the Skills Portability Initiative

  • Inclusion and access: Recognition of prior learning, skills validation and pathways for learners at risk of being left behind

What we're looking for

This year, you can choose between two session formats:

  • Micro sessions should be short, sharp and thought-provoking, such as a case study, a live demo or a peer exchange – 18 minutes, including 5 minutes for questions.

  • MC Studios offer room for deeper interaction, think workshops, a problem-solving exercise or a hands-on activity – in-depth 60-minute sessions.

Whichever format you choose, we ask that your session actively engages participants rather than being a one-way presentation.

Micro sessions have one session lead. MC Studios can have up to three.

Please submit no more than one proposal per institution.

Benefits for session leads

If selected, you receive:

  • Discounted registration fee of €350
  • Prominent website visibility
