Service: Blockcerts academic credentials

Responsible organisation: Ministry for Education and Employment (Governmental)

In October 2017, the Maltese government has launched a project that develops academic credentials verification using blockchain technology. The Ministry for Education and Employment (MEDE) of Malta decided to use the Blockcerts open standard for management of academic records. Blockcerts provides all aspects of the value chain: creation, issuing, viewing, and verification of the certificates, and uses blockchain technology as the infrastructure. The pilot was initiated to create a verifiable proof of education for citizens.
