R&D Spain's Identity Management and Privacy Team is playing a very prominent role in DC4EU’s Education and Professional Qualifications Pilot, as providers of core technological components (Eviden uSelf) for validation of the European Digital Identity Wallets ecosystem, aligned with the latest technical specifications of the European Digital Identity Cooperation Group and which are also fully compliant with the European Blockchain Service Infrastructure Conformance Tests.

The pilot represents a major opportunity to showcase the cutting-edge innovation and maturity of our self-sovereign identity solution, with our tools enabling the secure issuance and automatic verification of different types of identity and education credentials for students in mobile wallets in the context of pre-defined cross-border user journeys, enabling secure access to online services.

These tools are currently being deployed in a pre-production environment across more than 10 European Member States for comprehensive testing by over 30 European Higher Education Institutions and 1,000 students will be testing them in the coming months.

The results will demonstrate how reliance in common standards, protocols, data models and interfaces can enable high level of interoperability of exchange of educational information with a high level of trust and cross-border recognition, always under the control of wallet holders and with seamless onboarding and governance management for all stakeholders involved.
