CAMBO is a facility whereby the prospective student can register for a programme at an institution through a shared digital portal. The first thing the portal takes care of is the identification of the prospective student with DigiD and in future with other authorised means of identification. After identification, the prospective student retrieves all standard data (official personal data and the prior education data) from DUO and adds his own contact information. A prospective student can then register with an institution and a programme. In practice, this may include multiple applications. After the prospective student receives confirmation, the rest of the process is left to the institution. The institution takes care of further communication and placement.

When designing educational services, controlled vocabularies are often essential for capturing resources so that they become discoverable and reusable for various educational stakeholders. However, due to the multitude of different needs in a distributed educational landscape, reusable vocabularies for the education sector are not immediately accessible.
In an increasingly digital and networked educational landscape, various stakeholders face the challenge of making their services and platforms interoperable. Without standardized vocabularies, fragmented isolated solutions emerge, hindering data exchange and collaboration. The ”Compendium - Educational Metadata (en)” (Oellers & Rörtgen 2025) has already highlighted the diversity of stakeholders and existing vocabularies. This database addresses the need for systematizing a market overview.

A European Digital Credential for Learning (EDC) is a verifiable, digital version of a credential issued by an organisation to a learner to document their learning. These include diplomas, training certificates, micro-credentials, certificates of participation, and more. They can be issued in all EU and Europass languages and are signed with an electronic seal (a form of digital signature belonging to a trusted institution or organisation).
As they are natively digital, you can quickly and easily share a credential with prospective employers, use them to apply for further training without needing to scan or copy your paper diploma, or present them in the context of recognition procedures. EDCs include a series of verification checks, allowing anyone viewing the credential to trust its origin and verify its validity and authenticity.
If an institution issues you an EDC, you will receive it either directly deposited to your Europass wallet (available in your Europass Library) or via email, allowing you to upload the credential to your Europass wallet (or other compliant wallets).
Your Europass wallet is a space within your Europass account where you can securely store your EDCs and from where you can easily share your credentials directly, and include them in your applications together with your CV, cover letter, and other pertinent documents.

MyAcademicID was funded by the Connecting Europe Facility programme in 2019-2020 in the context of the European Student Card initiative and delivered on the core promise to enable students to authenticate for their studies abroad using their home student account thanks to eduGAIN, connect their academic identities with their identities as natural persons thanks to the bridge with eIDAS national nodes and enable the once-only principle by introducing the European Student Identifier.
The project resulted in the creation of an identity and access management platform combining both eIDAS and eduGAIN for the authentication on e-services related to the Erasmus+ programme (such as Erasmus+ App or the Online Learning Agreement).
The impact of the implementation of the platform on e-services related to Erasmus+ combined with release of the European Student Identifier via eduGAIN and Erasmus Without Paper will considerably reduce the administrative workload on staff and students.
The project results will be further developed by the consortium partners of the European Digital Student Service Infrastructure project and higher education institutions are invited to start implementing first results (LINK SECTION BELOW) in the context of the European Student Card initiative.

The Research Organization Registry (ROR) is a global, community-led registry of open persistent identifiers for research organizations. ROR makes it easy for anyone or any system to disambiguate institution names and connect research organizations to researchers and research outputs.
Organizations are not static entities. They change their names, merge, split, shut down, and re-emerge, and this makes it difficult to connect research organizations to research outputs and researchers. A persistent identifier for research organizations makes this easier.
ROR is the first and only organization identifier that is openly available (CC0 data available via an open REST API and public data dump), specifically focused on identifying affiliations in scholarly metadata, developed as a community initiative to meet community use cases, and designed to be integrated into open scholarly infrastructure. It is the default identifier supported in Crossref DOI metadata, DataCite DOI metadata, and ORCID.
ROR is used in journal publishing systems, data repositories, funder and grant management platforms, open access workflows, and other research infrastructure components to disambiguate institutional affiliations, improve discovery and tracking of research outputs by affiliation, and facilitate OA publishing workflows, among other use cases.

The ROSA architecture scan systematically maps all architectural aspects of an agreement and identifies bottlenecks and opportunities. An ‘agreement’ here refers to an agreement within a specific context on the design and application of certain standards, concept sets, information models, (domain) architectures and facilities (including chain facilities).
The scan offers the applicant concrete tools for applying ROSA, and the opportunity to feed back lessons and experiences from the project to ROSA. The results from an architecture scan have three important target groups:
the applicant of the architecture scan can identify bottlenecks and opportunities based on the scan results and advice and follow up on them under their own management;
the Architecture Council gains insight into the application and applicability of ROSA based on the results of the architecture scan, and derives possible improvements for the chain reference architecture from this;
other chain partners are enabled to take note of architectural changes in the educational domain via the published architecture scan and to determine the importance of these for their own organization or constituency. This supports transparency in the information management of the educational domain and an equal information position.
Shibboleth is a single sign-on log-in system for computer networks and the Internet. It allows people to sign in using just one identity to various systems run by federations of different organizations or institutions. The federations are often universities or public service organizations.
The Shibboleth Internet2 middleware initiative created an architecture and open-source implementation for identity management and federated identity-based authentication and authorization (or access control) infrastructure based on Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML). Federated identity allows the sharing of information about users from one security domain to the other organizations in a federation. This allows for cross-domain single sign-on and removes the need for content providers to maintain usernames and passwords. Identity providers (IdPs) supply user information, while service providers (SPs) consume this information and give access to secure content.
