#44 Future oriented student journey

Mit Kathleen Clancy/DAAD, Alexander Mühle/HPI, Felix Hoops/TU München
The Digital Credentials for Higher Education Institutions project, short DiBiHo (it.tum.de/it/dibiho), is like a step-to-the-moon for a future oriented student journey. Technical University of Munich TU München (tum.de), German Academic Exchange Service DAAD (daad.de/de) and Hasso-Plattner Institute HPI (hpi.de) have jointly developed a proof of concept working towards digital technologies for mutual acceptance of diploma and certificates worldwide.

Here are my interview guests and project leads:
Kathleen Clancy (linkedin.com/in/kathleen-clancy-a1369678/?orig…), DAAD: Communication and stakeholder management

Alexander Mühle (hpi.de/meinel/lehrstuhl/team/current-phd-stude…), HPI: Self sovereign identity platform management, technical development and system design

Felix Hoops (wwwmatthes.in.tum.de/pages/1g0a2eiwhl194/Felix…), TUM: technical coordination and system design

Benefits4Students: they control their data, can easily apply at a multitude of universities worldwide, process their diplomas online and use these for future applications.

Benefits4Universities: exploring new areas of research, achieve interoperability in international research, expand academic and researcher exchange

Benefits4Germany: participation in international research targeting global challenges, entering into discussion with international leading universities like MIT (mit.edu) and Harvard (harvard.edu), who are members of the Digital Credential Consortium (digitalcredentials.mit.edu)

Next steps:
Expanding the community of participants in Germany & Europe
Further testing of the proof of concept
