Secure, Verifiable Digital Diplomas for the Future of Higher Education  

Universities and universities of applied sciences in Switzerland are increasingly facing the challenge of providing official documents such as enrollment certificates, diplomas, or certificates in a secure, digital format that can be verified immediately.

This is exactly where verifiable credentials (VCs) come into play:

VCs are digital, forgery-proof credentials that students receive directly and that can be verified in seconds without the need for a manual check by administration.

In this webinar, we will demonstrate in a practical way how Swiss universities can use VCs to:

  • fully digitalize the student journey
  • prevent identity fraud
  • digitalize document processes
  • relieve the university administration

Together with Gataca, a leading provider of digital identity solutions in Europe, and the University of the Aegean we will share some exclusive insights into modern systems for verifiable digital credentials.

Where: Online via Zoom
Language: English
