The Vision

The project

One of the benefits of being a student, is having access to several discounts in various places inside their own country but also outside. Since not all public credentials are interoperable, exchanges between public & private sector can be restricted. This issue can be solved by empowering citizens, fostering the control of their data, providing trustworthy interoperability services and promoting a global digital identity.

The Open Government of Catalonia, Howest University and Validated ID have come together in order to showcase a possible solution of providing local discounts using EBSI. Thanks to the EBSI-infrastructure, we are able to take a giant leap forward. We are ready to work with real data and do a real digital on-boarding. We are also in the position to do a rapid deployment to the 1,000 governments of Catalonia, making this service scalable to any European university.

We are ready to move forward. Our short-term objective is to by go into production with EBSI, further develop the compliance with GDPR, include some features such as the revocation. Our ambition if to be able to scale the solution across many European Universities.

Check out the demo video to see how EBSI can simplify this process.
