Opole University of Technology is the second university in Poland to introduce the Badge+ Open Badges system. It is an innovative, international standard for digital certification of verified achievements, skills and competences.

The system is linked to the introduction of the Integrated Qualifications System. It is a response to changes in the labour market and the economy.
