Investment at stake:

-DC4EU: €19M, 80 orgs, 23 States — built on W3C-VC
-EBSI: PID in W3C-VCDM by the Commission itself
-Catena-X, Gaia-X: W3C-VC for industrial attestations
-Education sector: complete EAA catalogue in W3C-VC across 36 institutions, 10 countries

Validated. Proven. Now without a regulatory home.

Marginalising W3C-VC is not simplification — it is cancellation of European public investment.

Interoperabilidad por estándares abiertos:

🔐 DC4EU validates that the hybrid model (PKI + dPKI via EBSI) complements and extends eduGAIN.
Key difference: eduGAIN requires federation membership, centred on universities. DC4EU covers the ENTIRE cycle: secondary → VET → university → professional qualifications → CPD.
Interoperability through open standards:
→ W3C-VCDM: global technical foundation (80%+ initiatives)
→ ELM: European semantics
Credentials understood without language barriers.

⚠️ EUDIW strategic risk (DC4EU documented)

If Implementing Acts don’t support education (W3C-VCDM, accreditation, lifecycle), sector will issue credentials OUTSIDE the wallet.

Alternatives exist: Europass, Open Badges, EBSI ecosystems.

EUDIW becomes ID-only = limited adoption. Skills Agenda loses infrastructure.

Technical solution works. Policy alignment is the question.
