The MiCreS project is a sector-driven ecosystem for micro-credentials in financial services in Europe. It is an innovative project co-funded by the Erasmus+, Forward Looking Programme, which aims to develop Europe’s first blockchain-based ecosystem for micro-credentials. This training initiative aims to foster a more skilled and adaptable workforce in the area of ESG: an area which is receiving significant attention and focus within the financial services industry, given the pivotal role the industry has in financing the green transition.
The project aims to achieve three key objectives. Firstly, it aims to develop a European system for the certification of professional qualifications and related micro-credentials that align with EQF. Secondly, it seeks to implement a prototype certification on ESG for the banking and financial services sector in Europe and third countries. Thirdly, it plans to use innovative blockchain technology, interoperable with the European Digital Credentials for Learning, to support the “green transition” towards a more sustainable and responsible financial system.
Malta and Ireland have been selected as pilot project sites for the MiCreS Project in the Banking & Financial Services Sector.
This Foundation Certificate explores ESG and its implications for the financial services sector. While ‘Green’ initiatives prioritise sustainability and responsible practices, particularly in environmental stewardship, ESG addresses a broader spectrum of issues, including social responsibility and corporate governance. It enables the MiCreS Consortium to provide a more comprehensive understanding of the wider ESG framework, offering a richer perspective beyond environmental concerns alone.
