The II CertiDigital Conference “The customer journey of university digital credentials” will be held on November 24 and 25 in Albacete

October 28, 2022

The CertiDigital project’s face-to-face sessions are a key space for the meeting, exchange and active collaboration between the different professional profiles of the 23 partner universities. The scheduled sessions allow to deepen the theoretical frameworks and technologies involved, as well as to align visions, strategies and actions around the common objectives of the project.
