Service: European Student eCard

Responsible organisation: Open Government of Catalonia (AOC) (Regional Government)

This use case promotes interoperability of verified credentials of European students to be able to access discounts in public services of Catalan city councils, in collaboration with the city councils of El Prat de Llobregat, Sant Feliu de Llobregat, Tarragona, Valls and Viladecans. During EBSI Demo Day, AOC (Open Government of Catalonia), in collaboration with Howest University and the company Validated ID, presented a use case where a student obtains certain discounts on municipal utilities using their digital identity based on their college student card. Despite being a proof of concept, the use case has been developed using the pre-production environments of the VALID and eTram services. The Validated ID VIDchain wallet was used in the project, which was the first to pass the EBSI trust certification. In December 2021, the AOC and ValidatedID presented to the European Commission a first pilot, within the framework of the EBSI project, to promote a self-managed European digital identity.
