MICRO-CREDENTIALS are focused, fast and flexible learning programs that recognize a learner's competency in a specific area. They are more niche than traditional certified courses and can emphasize a needed skill for the targeted sector. They can also be used to advance and catalyze actionable solutions in food security and climate change resilience.

This was the consensus reached by the first international conference held by the Erasmus program Postgraduate Micro-Credentials in Food Security and Climate Change (PMC-FSCC) in Thailand on Feb. 10 to 12.
