Pilot scenarios

UC1 - Portugal

This pilot scenario covers submission of applications to study at the 2nd Bologna level (Master’s degree studies) at University of Lisbon in Portugal by Spanish and Slovenian students. Similar to the other scenarios, the applicants’ diploma information will be retrieved from the trusted data providers in Portugal and Slovenia through the DE4A OOP TS. The Slovenian and Spanish students will authenticate at University of Lisbon with their eIDAS eIDs, they will explicitly request to use the DE4A OOTS to retrieve the required evidence from their home countries, and will then be redirected to the evidence issuing competent authority where they will Preview the evidence before being redirected back to the requesting competent authority in Portugal.

UC1 - Slovenia

All candidates wishing to enrol in the Slovenian higher education system must apply online through the eVŠ system at the Ministry of Education, Science and Sport. This scenario will pilot the submission of applications for studies at the 2nd Bologna level (Master’s degree) in Slovenia by Portuguese and Spanish students. Currently, students have to manually enter the required data in the application form at eVŠ and provide the required evidence themselves. In the pilot, the information on the applicants’ diploma will be retrieved from the trusted data providers in Portugal and Spain through the automated exchange mechanisms enabled by the DE4A OOP TS. The Spanish and Portuguese students will authenticate at the eVŠ system with their eIDAS eIDs, they will explicitly request to use the DE4A OOTS to retrieve the required evidence from their home countries and will then be redirected to the evidence issuing competent authority where they will Preview the evidence before being redirected back to the requesting competent authority in Slovenia.

UC1 - Spain

This pilot scenario involves the submission of applications to study at the 2nd Bologna level (Master’s degree) at Universitat Jaume I (UJI) in Spain by Portuguese and Slovenian students. Similar to the other scenarios, the information about the applicants’ diploma is retrieved from the trusted data providers in Portugal and Slovenia through the DE4A OOP TS. The Slovenian and Portuguese students will authenticate at UJI with their eIDAS eIDs, they will explicitly request to use the DE4A OOTS to retrieve the required evidence from their home countries and will then be redirected to the evidence issuing competent authority where they will Preview the evidence before being redirected back to the requesting competent authority in Spain.
