Testimonials

MCMC 2026 took place on 24–26 February, at Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences (AUAS).

We asked five people who work on micro-credentials three short questions. Their answers come from policy, research, adult education, training and engineering.

You’ll hear from the OECD, EAEA and the ILO’s training centre. Poland’s Educational Research Institute and Universidad Carlos III de Madrid complete the line-up.

Want to hear more in person? Join us at MCMC 2027, 23–25 March 2027 in Graz, Austria.

Senior Policy and Projects Coordinator, European Association for the Education of Adults (EAEA)

What is particularly important is that it’s actually instructive. Of course it’s a networking event, but we can really go deeply, gather insights and meet the appropriate people to go forward with the work.

Carlos Delgado Kloos

Director of the Department of Telematics Engineering, Universidad Carlos III de Madrid

In Europe, MCMC is the place to come to learn about micro-credentials from different perspectives: the technical, the policy, the social implications, the labour market implications. I’ve already convinced some other people to come.

Iván Bornacelly

Policy Analyst and Projects Lead, OECD Centre for Skills

The people working behind micro-credentials are meeting. I think that is creating an ecosystem that validates the trust in micro-credentials.

Michał Nowakowski

Project Leader, Educational Research Institute (IBE PIB), Poland

This is my third time and I totally love MCMC. I think it’s one of the greatest conferences about micro-credentials in the world.

Tom Wambeke

Chief Learning Innovation Officer, International Training Centre of the ILO (ITCILO)

We could tap into the collective intelligence of 120, 130 minds in the room in such a short period. That would be, for me, a reason to come to the next edition.
