Citizens now more than ever are demanding the convenience and speed of digital services without compromising the security of their private data. The process of issuing and verifying diplomas is one of the core workflows in universities operations, hence there have been numerous initiatives from different institutions across Europe that are exploring the digitization of this process.
The digitization of issuing and verification of diplomas and micro-credentials has been in the focus of numerous initiatives at national and European level in response to EU’s digital single market strategy. At the same time multiple privacy enhancing technology innovations have emerged in order to cope with the privacy challenges in these data exchange scenarios. These factors have led to a rapidly evolving ecosystem of players, solutions and specifications that haven’t yet converged into a single framework.
The SIG Mobility and Digital Credential was established in September 2023. All the EUNIS members and invited stakeholders can join to help align the latest developments in the area and exchange ideas is imminent. Experts will gather to discuss and exchange knowledge on current and future developments in the field of student mobility and cross-border education and diplomas.
