CertiDigital is a project aimed at creating a digital certification service for the Spanish University System, as well as the practical implementation of pilot use cases that allow validating and improving the initial design. Let us remember that CertiDigital, as an initiative of the UniDigital program, is aimed at the Digital Transformation of Spanish universities, and in this sense, the project has two key components:
- A cutting-edge technological development for the generation of university digital credentials and aligned with the European EDC and EBSI standards, led by the project’s Technical Committee and which will have expert support.
- An identification and transformation of the educational, academic and administrative processes related to the issuance and consumption of credentials in the university environment that will impact the internal functioning of each university at various levels.
The definition and implementation of pilot CertiDigital Use Cases that will be carried out in all the universities participating in the project has to do with this second key component. Supporting and promoting these internal processes in universities, from a culture of collaboration and mutual support, is a priority for the Coordination Committee and the Technical Committee of the CertiDigital project.
Objectives
- Inform the partner universities about the status of the CertiDigital project and the technical-educational-administrative knowledge necessary to carry it out.
- Support partner universities in the definition and planning of their CertiDigital EDC implementation Use Cases.
- Generate and strengthen alliances and groupings of universities based on common technical, educational and/or administrative elements.
- Promote and facilitate reflection, active participation and a culture of collaboration between the participating universities and their respective work teams.
