MESHE – Micro-credentials Exchange System for Higher Education in Europe
ESU is part of MESHE, a European project working to make micro-credentials more understandable, trustworthy and useful for students and learners. The project focuses on improving transparency, recognition and portability of micro-credentials across higher education institutions, so that learners can benefit from more flexible and inclusive learning pathways. MESHE also pilots the exchange of micro-credentials between universities and feeds student perspectives into European policy discussions, contributing to fairer recognition practices and stronger lifelong learning opportunities in Europe.

MESHE Focus Groups
As part of our data‑collection process, we organised two focus groups to gather insights directly from students. The first session took place online on 21 May, allowing participants from different locations to join remotely. The second focus group was held in person on 27 May, creating space for deeper discussion and interaction.
MESHE Consultations
We also co‑organised a consultation as part of this process. The programme is available below and can be downloaded for reference.
