The third meeting for the MiCreS project was held
The third working meeting of the MiCreS project took place on March 13, 2025, in Milan, Italy, and once again brought together experts in the field for an in-depth exchange of insights, experiences and new opportunities. The event, hosted by the Italian banking association, ABI – Associazione Bancaria Italiana, provided a platform to strengthen cooperation and explore new strategies for growth and innovation.
From engaging discussions to valuable networking moments, the event solidified the shared commitment of the MiCreS project partners to excellence and continuous development. The Macedonian Banking Association was represented by the President, Ph.D. Maja Stevkova Shterieva, and the Executive Secretary, MSc. Milena Perchinkova.
The third meeting was marked by several key moments: achievements in 2024; the next phase of the project, i.e. work package 3 – development and testing of an accredited micro-credential for Green Finance in Ireland and Malta; a periodic report – an overview of the results and impact so far; and next steps – paving the way for a more sustainable future in education and finance. Work package 3 is intended to develop a prototype of the so-called “green” micro-credential to be tested within pilot countries.
