Led by a consortium of 2+ universities and 4+ IT providers from Spain, Romania and Ireland.

Together, they are shaping the simplicity and reliability of Educational IDs throughout Europe by creating a presentation and verification system for eIDAS and eduGAIN to achieve cross-border university education mobility by establishing a stable student identification architecture.

Proving students' identity across universities in Europe is challenging.

Students are increasingly looking to personalise their learning paths to build a diverse academic profile. However, moving between universities currently involves dealing with time-consuming administrative and verification hurdles to exchange information that accurately identifies students. Students often have to carry physical (paper) copies of their identity and student identity or use a private-sector third-party intermediary to authenticate their identities and student status. This means current options are centralised, costly, time-consuming, and prone to errors.

Building the foundations of a new student identification infrastructure using EBSI.

The project leverages the power of the European Blockchain Services Infrastructure (EBSI) to build the foundations of the digital infrastructure needed for a seamless cross-border learning experience. The project unites 2 universities and 4 IT providers from Spain, Romania and Ireland to achieve this.

EBSI allows this project to design, build, and operate the next generation of decentralised services. The objective of this project is to enhance the student experience by allowing them to:

• Have their student status recognised and authenticated, enabling them to obtain a personally unique yet privacy-preserving Educational ID.
• Seamlessly present their Educational ID credentials for verification with third parties (i.e., other universities).
• Enable secure data sharing, selective disclosure, and control over personal student information across nations and institutions.
