ETIKETA - 2nd WORKSHOP - The Digital Format for the EU Label
Last week, the Etiketa partners, stakeholders and a group of joint degree students participated in a hybrid Etikéta Focus Group on Future Models for European Degrees.
We gathered to discuss the relevance of a future degree label, the proposed criteria and the ongoing mapping of the existing and future degree labels.
FOCI (Future-proof Criteria for Innovative European Education) also introduced its workflow and project. The Etikéta project is all about collaboration with and learning from external partners.
Tomorrow, we will host the 2nd workshop "The Digital Format for the EU label". We welcome full and associated partners to join us in the meeting, tomorrow at 14h00 (Portugal/Ireland time)/ 15h00 (Belgium time)/ 16h00 (Estonian time).
