🎓 ELM no solo cubre educación: soporta el marco completo de cualificaciones profesionales.
→ Requisitos de recertificación y CPD
→ Competencias profesionales mapeadas a ESCO
→ Experiencia práctica + titulaciones formales
→ Cumplimiento regulatorio para profesiones reguladas
Movilidad profesional transfronteriza real, sin duplicar credenciales para cada jurisdicción.
El EUDI Wallet personal (no centralizado) garantiza tu control total, alineado con eIDAS 2.0 y GDPR.

🔐 DC4EU valida que el modelo híbrido (PKI + dPKI via EBSI) complementa y extiende eduGAIN.
Diferencia clave: eduGAIN requiere membresía en la federación, centrado en universidad. DC4EU cubre TODO el ciclo: secundaria → FP → universidad → cualificaciones profesionales → formación continua.
Interoperabilidad por estándares abiertos:
→ W3C-VCDM: base técnica global (80%+ iniciativas)
→ ELM: semántica europea
Credenciales entendibles sin barreras.

🔑 Studying at two institutions, one with eduGAIN and one without? All your achievements in your personal wallet.
Transitioning to employment? Your credentials travel with you. Employers verify via VDRs, without intermediaries. No centralised entity knows whom you share with.
eIDAS 2.0 (Art. 45b): mandatory cross-border legal recognition.
DC4EU proven: 36 institutions, 16 countries. European + global interoperability.
🎓 ELM doesn’t just cover education: supports the complete professional qualifications framework
→ Recertification and CPD requirements
→ Professional competencies mapped to ESCO
→ Practical experience + formal qualifications
→ Regulatory compliance for regulated professions
Real cross-border professional mobility, without duplicating credentials for each jurisdiction
The personal EUDI Wallet (not centralised) guarantees your full control, aligned with eIDAS 2.0 and GDPR
#ESCO #EUDIWallet #GDPR
🔐 DC4EU validates that the hybrid model (PKI + dPKI via EBSI) complements and extends eduGAIN.
Key difference: eduGAIN requires federation membership, centred on universities. DC4EU covers the ENTIRE cycle: secondary → VET → university → professional qualifications → CPD.
Interoperability through open standards:
→ W3C-VCDM: global technical foundation (80%+ initiatives)
→ ELM: European semantics
Credentials understood without language barriers.

⚠️ EUDIW strategic risk (DC4EU documented)
If Implementing Acts don’t support education (W3C-VCDM, accreditation, lifecycle), sector will issue credentials OUTSIDE the wallet.
Alternatives exist: Europass, Open Badges, EBSI ecosystems.
EUDIW becomes ID-only = limited adoption. Skills Agenda loses infrastructure.
Technical solution works. Policy alignment is the question.
🇪🇺 EUDIW: more than identity
DC4EU proved the wallet supports education + mobility + employability
Global interoperability:
• W3C-VCDM: 80% worldwide adoption
• 50+ govt programmes (Singapore, Canada, Australia, Japan)
• Same protocols
= European credentials recognised globally & vice versa
EUDIW success depends on value beyond ID. DC4EU delivers it.
🇪🇺 DC4EU delivers infrastructure for European Skills Agenda, Union of Skills & Talent Mobility
Technical solution:
→ W3C-VCDM + VDRs via EBSI
→ ELM → ESCO, DigComp, EntreComp
→ QSeals + JAdES: legal equivalence, decades validity
→ EUDI Wallet: citizen control
Validated: primary → HE → professional bodies
36 institutions, 16 countries
Open Recognition: not replacing qualifications — making them more valuable.
⚖️ eIDAS 2.0 for Open Recognition
Qualifications can now include verifiable documentation of skills and competences acquired
DC4EU validated this works for:
• All education levels (primary → HE → adult)
• VET and apprenticeships
• Professional regulatory bodies
• Professional associations
• Sector skills councils
Same W3C-VCDM standard & legal effect in 27 countries
Open Recognition = formal qualifications more valuable
🔐 Verifiable Data Registries: the future of digital credentials in Europe
VDRs (EBSI infrastructure) now have full legal validity with Regulation 2025/2531.
✅ Your data NEVER in the registry, only in your wallet
✅ “Selective disclosure”: prove facts without revealing sensitive data
✅ Verification: from 45 min to <5 min
✅ 24/7, even offline
✅ 100% open source (EUPL)
Validated by DC4EU: 36 institutions, 16 countries.

🔐 Verifiable Data Registries: el futuro de las credenciales digitales en Europa
Los VDRs (infraestructura EBSI) ya tienen validez legal plena con el Reglamento 2025/2531.
✅ Tus datos NUNCA en el registro, solo en tu wallet
✅ “Selective disclosure”: prueba hechos sin revelar datos sensibles
✅ Verificación: de 45 min a <5 min
✅ 24/7, incluso offline
✅ 100% open source (EUPL)

For policy makers:
D5.3 IMAC provides stakeholder-specific recommendations for DG-EAC, DG-CNECT, DG-EMPL, DG-GROW, and DG-DIGIT addressing regulatory harmonisation, funding coordination, and programme integration.
83% of pilot participants want to continue beyond project completion. The infrastructure is ready.

Real-world impact validated:
• 80% administrative cost reduction
• Verification time: 45 min → <5 min
• Cross-border interoperability: 100%
• User satisfaction: 7.1/10 (n=273)
• Institutional continuation: 75% commitment
Professional bodies (CGCOM medical credentials) maintain full governance authority whilst gaining digital efficiency. The hybrid trust model works.
GDPR compliance by architecture, not just policy:
Unlike federated identity systems relying on procedural compliance through institutional policies, DC4EU credentials technically enforce GDPR principles:
• Data minimisation: cryptographic selective disclosure
• Purpose limitation: wallet-level policy validation
• User consent: per-transaction, provable
• Data portability: standards-based (W3C VCDM)
Privacy by design at the protocol level.
Critical: DC4EU strengthens existing governance, doesn't bypass it.
DG-EAC maintains responsibility for primary, secondary, and tertiary education credential schemas. DG-EMPL oversees VET and adult education. National authorities retain competency within their jurisdictions.
The multi-level governance approach ensures European-level coordination for interoperability whilst respecting subsidiarity principles established in founding treaties.
The European Learning Model v3.2 provides unprecedented semantic coverage:
• ALL education levels: primary through lifelong learning • ALL frameworks: EQF, NQF, sectoral qualifications • ALL contexts: formal, non-formal, informal, work-based
Built on open standards (RDF/Linked Data), it enables the complete career pathway: Secondary → VET → Higher Ed → Professional → CPD.
One learner. One credential journey. No more silos.
#LifelongLearning #LinkedData #SemanticWeb #DigitalCredentials
🎓 Breaking Education Silos: DC4EU Validates True Lifelong Learning Infrastructure
Europe's education credentials have been fragmented: primary separate from secondary, VET disconnected from higher ed, professional qualifications in their own universe. Cross-border recognition? Bureaucratic nightmare.
DC4EU—Europe's largest digital credentials pilot—validated a solution across 16 Member States that connects them all whilst respecting existing governance
Why silos matter—a concrete example:
A nurse's career involves: secondary education → nursing degree → specialisation → continuing professional development → cross-border practice authorisation.
Currently: 5 separate systems, minimal interoperability, manual verification. With DC4EU: One verifiable, machine-readable pathway respecting all governance authorities.
EUDI Wallet meets education:
DC4EU validated W3C Verifiable Credentials as the technical foundation for Educational Electronic Attestations of Attributes (EAAs) under eIDAS 2.0.
What this means:
• Cross-border legal validity—automatic
• Offline verification—no "phone home" to issuers
• Selective disclosure—share only what's needed
• Citizen control—credentials in your wallet, your decision
