Meet the EBSI Early Adopters and the multi-university pilot

EBSI Early Adopters and the multi-university pilot

Since 2020, EBSI has been deploying a network of distributed nodes across Europe, supporting applications in a growing number of use cases.

In 2021, 22 projects were selected to become part of an incubator programme, the multi-university pilot. This incubator programme will help the first EBSI users and their partners imagine, build and launch their pilot project(s). Each project's private and public sector partners was given early access to the pre-production environment of EBSI, and was invited to develop their own pilot project to address a specific business or government use case involving the exchange of verifiable credentials.

The EBSI Early Adopters have been challenged to test their different pilots in a real-life setting by taking part in the multi-university pilot. This allows them to test the interoperability of their solutions with other key actors in the ecosystem to allow for the exchange of verifiable credentials by students and universities: trusted accreditation organisations; trust issuers; holders of credentials; wallet providers and other partners. By the end of November 2021, the Member States and their partners will work to deliver all the required functionalities to make the multi-university cross-border scenario a reality.
