ECCOE
The project aims to support mobility in the European Higher Education Area by developing an “ECCOE-system” for the recognition of digital credentials. The main aim is to facilitate the endorsement and appropriation of open, online and flexible higher education. In support of this overarching objective, the project aims to increase trust in technology-enabled credentials among students, higher education institutions (HEIs) and employers.
