We're sorry you couldn't make it! The recording of the event and the presentations have been uploaded on our website.

Here are some key takeaways from our event:

1. The European Blockchain Services Infrastructure (EBSI) is a public-driven, pan-European blockchain created as a joint initiative between the European Commission (EC) and all EU members states, Norway and Liechtenstein organised as part of the European Blockchain Partnership (EBP). The EBP and the EC develop and deploy EBSI with a network of distributed nodes across Europe to support important applications.
2. When documents and information are shared online, it is still challenging to verify that the information is authentic. Having this in mind, EBSI has been working on several Use Cases that aim at reducing the time and cost of verification. These challenges are not to be met with blockchain alone, but with a new set of technologies that makes it possible for Public Administrations, and Businesses, to easily verify and trust information received directly from Citizens (or Businesses). Trust is possible thanks to the combined use of:
   
   • the Verifiable Credentials (VC) and Decentralised Identifiers (DID) standards from W3C – these standards are at the root of a new digital document format;
   • digital wallets that carry the Verifiable Credentials – wallets can pass EBSI's Wallet Conformance Testing;
   • Check out our EBSI Explained series on Verifiable Credentials to find out more: EBSI Explained.

In this context, the blockchain supports the verification of the authenticity of the entities accredited to issue diplomas in a given country.

• This Demo Day featured 6 demonstrations, involving 10 countries. They showed us how to implement EBSI's use cases and enable European citizens to study, work, and grow across borders by exchanging verifiable credentials such as their studies diploma, transcript of records, student ID, and more;
• You can take part in EBSI by signing up to the Early Adopter Programme to pilot (new) Use Cases, or by passing the Wallet Conformance Testing! More information below.
