Service: EQPR - CoE Refugee Passport

Responsible organisation: The Council of Europe (Consortium)

This use case consists in the presentation of an European Qualification Passport for Refugees in order to apply for a master in a European university. The EQPR is implemented by the Council of Europe since 2017 in 15 countries, and provides a methodology for assessing refugees' qualifications even when they cannot be fully documented, thereby supporting their further studies, employment and integration, as well as a format for describing the assessment. The pilot is done on EBSI platform together with CIMEA, Infratel Italia, University of Cagliary and GovPart GmbH. From 2021 onwards the Council of Europe has digitalized the entire workflow of the process and issues EQPR through Diplome Blockchain platform. The EQPR holders can now share their document in a simple, secure and fast way directly by their wallet with higher education institutions, companies, employees all around Europe.
