STEMMINGFrom STEM knowledge to deep-tech action.

For teaching, programme, QA and professional-services teams

Add deep-tech. Keep the degree.

Eight reusable, assessment-backed mini-credentials help teaching and professional-services teams add green, digital, quantum and venture capabilities to existing courses, challenge weeks and staff-development offers. Each institution retains clear academic leadership, approval, language, timetable and recognition arrangements.

Project target: 500 academic and 500 non-academic staff successful participants, each completing at least 10 learning hours with assessment.

  • One formal mini-credential can support several local module instances.
  • Technical and pedagogical review precedes scale-up.
  • Assessment, moderation, appeals and evidence retention are named.

Choose the pathway that fits your role

Four staff pathways, one common architecture.

One shared architecture supports course design, quality assurance, learning technology, student services and research-to-market teams.

Course and module leaders

Map selected outcomes, labs and assessment evidence into an existing degree or continuing-education offer.

Programme and QA teams

Review workload, level, issuer, evidence, moderation, appeals, certificate metadata and local recognition conditions.

Learning technology and support

Connect identity, LMS, accessible content, analytics, helpdesk and human-escalation services without centralising sensitive data unnecessarily.

TTO, careers and professional staff

Link suitable challenge evidence to internships, IP clinics, market validation and venture support under separate selection rules.

The adoption package

A practical package for confident adoption.

Each approved mini-credential should be transferable as a controlled package with enough evidence for another HEI to review and adapt it responsibly.

Competence and outcomes map

Learner-centred outcomes with relevant DigComp, GreenComp, EntreComp, EITC and EIT overarching learning-outcome references.

Teaching and lab assets

Explain­ers, slide or video scripts, readings, notebooks, simulations, scenarios, datasets, tutor prompts and accessibility notes.

Assessment and integrity pack

Blueprint, rubric, pass rules, allowed AI use, feedback, resubmission, identity approach, moderation, appeals and retained evidence.

AI–human support pattern

Curriculum-aware formative help, ticketing and escalation rules with qualified staff retaining high-stakes decisions.

Data and deployment notes

Privacy-preserving deployment options, data minimisation, access controls, open interfaces and local integration constraints.

Credential and reporting file

Issuer, workload, learning outcomes, assessment result, badge metadata, consent and evidence needed for project and local reporting.

From interest to a documented module instance

A six-step adoption workflow

Start with one existing offer and one mini-credential. Scale only after the first implementation has generated usable learner and staff evidence.

    1

    Select

    Identify the learner need, existing course or staff-development setting and one relevant mini-credential.

    2

    Map

    Compare existing outcomes, content, workload and assessment against the common mini-credential dossier.

    3

    Approve

    Confirm the academic lead, quality route, teaching team, eligible cohort, language, privacy notice and recognition wording.

    4

    Adapt

    Localise examples, learning links, accessibility, data access, support responsibilities and assessment logistics.

    5

    Pilot and evidence

    Run a manageable cohort and retain unique-participant, learning-hour, assessment, support and feedback evidence.

    6

    Review and scale

    Review learning quality, staff effort, inclusion, support demand and local constraints before the next implementation.

Common architecture

Review the eight adoption candidates

Each profile presents the shared outcome, workload and evidence model for one mini-credential. A local offer adds its confirmed teaching team, timetable, language, application route and recognition arrangements before recruitment begins.

See all FAQs and support
What is STEMMING?

STEMMING is a European higher-education initiative developing short, assessed learning across Agentic AI, smart green and solar systems, quantum trust and security, and venture creation.

Who is the training for?

The main audiences are BSc, MSc and PhD learners, academic staff, professional university staff and selected ecosystem participants. Each cohort page confirms its own level, prerequisites and local eligibility.

How is the offer organised?

The public architecture contains four connected pillars and eight stackable mini-credentials. Local courses, challenge weeks and staff-development offers can implement those credentials in different settings.

How much time does a credential require?

A successful project completion is designed around at least 10 structured learning hours plus competence assessment. Any larger workload or local ECTS equivalence is confirmed by the delivering institution for a specific cohort.

What evidence will I produce?

Depending on the credential, evidence may include a quiz, notebook, design worksheet, scenario decision, short report, pitch or project artifact. The course page states the assessment before enrolment.
