<p class="reference">The challenge</p>
<h2 class="heading-deco terciary">Proving students' identity across universities in Europe is challenging.</h2>
<p class="txt">
    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.

<p class="reference">The opportunity</p>
<h2 class="heading-deco terciary">Web3 has the potential to revolutionise education identification.</h2>
<p class="txt">
    The aim is to create an architecture for general student identification using Educational IDs that other systems can
    use for more specific use cases in the educational sector, with the end goal of helping students manage their own
    student identification. See their collaboration with the University Alliance project to view how their architecture
    was adopted by another system.
</p>
<p>
    A Web3 presentation and verification infrastructure for student identification credentials brings together three main technologies:
</p>
<ul class="arrows-list">
    <li>Digital Wallets: used by students and universities to receive, store, and send credentials on the move.</li>
    <li>Verifiable Credentials: for formatting, presenting, and exchanging credential data in a machine-friendly way.
    </li>
    <li>Blockchain: for delivering a highly secure, resilient, and decentralised way of verifying credential information.
    </li>
</ul>

<p class="reference">The project</p>
<h2 class="heading-deco terciary">Building the foundations of a new student identification infrastructure using EBSI.
</h2>
<p class="txt">
    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.
</p>
<p class="txt">
    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:
</p>
<ul class="arrows-list">
    <li>Have their student status recognised and authenticated, enabling them to obtain a personally unique yet
        privacy-preserving Educational ID.</li>
    <li>Seamlessly present their Educational ID credentials for verification with third parties (i.e., other universities).</li>
    <li>Enable secure data sharing, selective disclosure, and control over personal student information across nations and institutions.</li>
</ul>
