60+ European University alliances. Almost all need a shared course catalogue. Almost all build it separately.
I've published one under the EUPL-1.2: Open Alliance Course Catalogue. Alliances get the code; providers compete on the service.

#OpenSource
Three ways for a university to supply courses: Open Education API harvest, CSV upload, or a web form. Same rules, one catalogue. Sign-in via eduGAIN where it exists, local accounts with 2FA where it doesn't. One deployment per alliance: branding and partners are config, not code.

Notición!
A la práctica significa que cualquier grupo de investigación afiliado a una institución española podrá enviar sus artículos a #ORE para que sean publicados allí, sin coste, si pasan la revisión por pares abierta.
Esto será operativo a partir de este otoño🚀
✅ España se incorpora a @OpenResearch_EU, la plataforma pública de publicación científica en acceso abierto impulsada por la Comisión Europea.
📖 @cienciagob representará a nuestro país en la plataforma a través de la @FECYT_Ciencia.

The EUDI Wallet consultation has closed. 43 contributions. One clear message: 3 credential formats referenced, only 2 with regulatory scaffolding to function. EU investment exposed.
Full analysis: linkedin.com/pulse/eudi-wall…
Without Commission W3C-VC adaptations, each Member State decides independently.
Spain defines its EAA mapping. Germany does the same. Neither aligned.
Same regulatory work, 27 times instead of once — with divergent results.
The antithesis of harmonisation.
#EUDIWallet #eIDAS2
EdTech companies building on W3C Verifiable Credentials — a thread on why the draft EUDI Wallet Implementing Regulations affect your product roadmap directly. 🧵
Three credential formats referenced. Only two with regulatory scaffolding.
#EdTech #EUDIWallet
DC4EU validated W3C-VC credentials across 36 institutions, 10 countries. The schemas exist. The technology works.
The regulatory scaffolding doesn't.
If your product uses W3C-VC, Have Your Say is open until early March. Your voice matters.
#EdTech #HaveYourSay #eIDAS2
European EdTech Alliance, EdTech Europe, national associations:
A collective contribution to Have Your Say on W3C-VC regulatory support carries more weight than individual inputs.
The format question is a market access question for EU SMEs.
#EdTech #EUDIWallet #HaveYourSay
The question is not whether Europe needs W3C-VC - the Commission already answered that by referencing it.
The question is whether it will complete the scaffolding-or leave a format formally included but practically excluded.
The draft regulations reference three credential formats: mdoc, SD-JWT VC, and W3C-VC (via ETSI TS 119 472-1 clause 7).
For mdoc and SD-JWT VC: complete encoding tables, presentation profiles, issuance protocols, revocation rules.
For W3C-VC: none of the above.
The Have Your Say consultation is open until early March.
If you work in education, professional qualifications, digital identity, trust services, or cross-border credential verification — your input matters.
Full analysis here: 🔗 ec.europa.eu/info/law/better…
The fix isn't complicated:
The Commission should issue a standardisation request to ETSI ESI for a European HAIP covering all three formats.
The schemas exist. The pilots validated them. What remains is integration, not invention.
8 types of regulatory action identified.
The suspension gap:
Token Status List (chosen for mdoc/SD-JWT VC) supports only permanent revocation
Several Member States legally require suspension
Bitstring Status List (W3C-native) supports both
Regulation 2024/1183 contemplates suspension. The Implementing Acts eliminate it
The investment at stake:
DC4EU: €19M, 80 orgs, 23 States — built on W3C-VC
EBSI: PID developed in W3C-VCDM by the Commission itself
Catena-X, Gaia-X: W3C-VC for industrial attestations
Education sector: complete EAA catalogue in W3C-VC
Validated. Proven. Without regulatory home
