European Blockchain Service Infrastructure(EBSI) allows the delivery of cross-border public services based on the blockchain technology, enhancing the way citizens, government and businesses interact. EBSI consists of a peer-to-peer network of interconnected nodes running a blockchain-based services infrastructure.

The Action will support participation and contribution of Austrian stakeholders to the European Blockchain Service Infrastructure (EBSI), in particular as regards diploma use case based on Self-Sovereign Identity (SSI). Specifically, the Action will cover:

1) The setup and operation of the Austrian EBSI node.

2) EBSI cross-border use cases by designing and implementing a solution for digital diplomas based on SSI and the ESBI ledger, while considering related EU efforts (e.g. diploma use case within the European Self-Sovereign Identity Framework).

3) EBSI capacity building and training activities by delivering trainings within consortium and to third parties (private and public ) as well as sharing with EBSI community technical and business information about the Action (e.g. case studies, frameworks for implementing EBSI use cases) to facilitate an uptake of the EBSI by public services in other Member States.
