The Vision
A consortium led by 4+ universities, 4+ IT solutions providers and a research centre - from France, Spain, and Romania.
Together, they are pioneering the future of micro-credentials in Europe by developing a presentation and verification platform using eDiplomas to achieve cross-university education mobility to facilitate the cross-border issuance, recognition, and acceptance of educational digital certificates.

The Challenge
Missed opportunities for certifying skills outside of the Education framework.
A challenge facing the current education system is its tendency to overlook the diverse achievements of learners, particularly when it comes to micro-credentials. Despite learners demonstrating a range of valuable skills and interests by completing courses, programmes or trainings, their accomplishments are often unnoticed. This lack of recognition not only hampers learners' ability to showcase their competencies but also limits their opportunities for admission to relevant programs, especially within the framework of European mobility.

The Project
New standards for valued and personalised training paths.
When leveraging EBSI, this opportunity transforms into a powerful catalyst for recognising and valuing individual achievements. It will allow life-long learners to ensure that their educational- and professional-gained skills, represented as micro-credentials, can be shared and recognised across borders and institutions. A team of education ministries and universities across Europe envision this project as a way to reshape the learning environment in Europe and demonstrate how learners can benefit from micro-credentials.
EBSI allows the Micro-credentials project to design, build, and operate the next generation of decentralised services. The objective of this project is to enhance the learner experience by allowing them to:
- Store and share micro-credentials.
- Receive seamless recognition of their student credentials from universities, eliminating administrative processes.
- Ensure citizen-centric privacy through Web3 security and user-side selective disclosure.
- Set new standards for decentralised and secure credentials, promoting mobility, and addressing the needs of workers for life-long education and learning..

Entrepreneurship profile building by accumulating micro-credentials across borders
Eva, a student at the University of Strasbourg, is pursuing an entrepreneurship programme with the dream of either establishing her own startup or working as a C-level executive.
- Eva is 1 issued micro-credentials from the Faculty of Law, Political Science, and Management at the University of Strasbourg, acknowledging her achievements within her master’s degree in digital law. The credentials include her status in the Student Entrepreneur Programme, her status as a student entrepreneur, participation in a hackathon, and the completion of online courses.
- Eva securely 2 stores all four verifiable credentials in her digital wallet.
- Eager to broaden her academic and entrepreneurial horizons, Eva 3 presents her credentials to the University of Deusto (ES) as part of her application for the Santander Digital Transformation of SMEs Programme and Incubator Programme. The university and incubator programme are able to 4 verify her micro-credentials against the EBSI ledger.
- After the successful completion of the programme, the University of Deusto and Santander 5 issue her an additional micro-credential, recognising her participation in the Entrepreneur/Incubator Programme. Eva 6 stores it in her wallet.
