Education

Strengthen recognition, mobility, and trust in education.

Today's educational systems are fragmented and rely on bilateral agreements or manual verification. EBSI enables ministries, universities, and education providers to streamline diploma & micro-credentials verification and strengthen recognition and mobility across Europe.

Trusted by institutions across Europe

Advancing digital trust with EBSI.

Cross-border degree recognition between universities
01

Support cross-border recognition

When students apply, transfer, or continue their studies in another country, receiving institutions need reliable ways to confirm what was issued, by whom, and when. The EBSI network enables credentials to be verified directly, helping reduce dependency on manual follow-up between institutions.

Verified academic journey timeline

Enable learner mobility

Students participating in Erasmus, joint degrees, alliances, or doctoral programmes need to prove their status and achievements across multiple institutions. With trusted digital credentials, learners can carry verifiable proof of their academic journey while institutions remain the authoritative source.

Qualification credential verified by employer, university and public authority
02

Strengthen trust in qualifications

Employers, universities, and public authorities need confidence that qualifications are authentic, current, and issued by a recognised source. EBSI supports verification through a shared layer of digital trust, so institutions can verify information directly while keeping control of their own systems.

Infrastructure designed for trusted exchange.

Sovereign European network

EBSI is designed around European governance, interoperability, and institutional accountability, helping public and education actors collaborate without relying on a single commercial platform.

Member States governance

EBSI is operated by participating Member States, creating a resilient trusted layer for digital exchange.

System interoperability

Institutions can use EBSI as a trust layer while continuing to operate their own education, identity, and student information systems.
