Abstract

The mission of this chapter is to provide a comprehensive overview of the importance and potential of microcredentials in advancing education and professional practice in Gerontology, emphasising the need for an adaptable, competency-oriented educational approach in this vital field. The following objectives are proposed: to reiterate the value of microcredentials as a strategic educational resource to meet the specific demands of Gerontology in higher education and to emphasise the need for a continued commitment to educational innovation and interdisciplinary collaboration to prepare trained gerontologists to meet the challenges of the Decade of Healthy Ageing 2021-2030.
