Today, higher education institutions face the challenge of adapting their certification systems to a constantly changing world of work and academia. In this context, digital credentials emerge as key tools to represent skills, knowledge and achievements in a more flexible, verifiable and aligned way with the real needs of the 21st century.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On June 11, 2025<\/strong>, ECOCredGT<\/strong> project partners held the inaugural webinar of the training cycle<\/strong>, entitled \u201cIntroduction to Digital Credentials in Education\u201d<\/strong>. This space marked the beginning of a series of events designed to strengthen institutional capacities in the design, issuance and use of interoperable digital credentials in Latin America.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A look into the future of academic certification <\/h4>\n\n\n\n
