Join us at this month’s Digital Credentials Regulars at our virtual pub on March 16th from 4:30-5:30 p.m. CET.
Perrine de Coëtlogon will be sharing her thoughts on data exchange between countries reporting on the diploma and notarisation use case of the European Blockchain Service Infrastructure (EBSI) and achievements within advanced authentication to date. The recently published White Paper “Blockchain Technologies for the Public Sector” examines various use cases ranging from farming, notarisation and verifiable diplomas and considers possible practical uses of blockchain to improve general public service. We look forward to Perrine’s past experience on issuing over 20.000 verifiable credentials at the University of Lille, her views on the distribution of power in a centralised administration and what this means from a technological perspective as well as opening up the debate to topics such as migration.
Perrine de Coëtlogon is a civil servant of the University of Lille, France, at the Directorate for Pedagogical Innovation where she works in particular for Blockchain & Open Education. It was in 2017 that Perrine began hosting a national working group on Blockchain technologies in an educational context. With her colleagues and thanks to the work done by international networks, she has led her university’s digital transformation of the way the university issues and students share their “diploma” with 20 000 verifiable credentials issued in the blockchain Avalanche in 2021. In 2022, the objective is to issue in the European Blockchain Service Infrastructure (EBSI) and to offer any student the possibility to open their first wallet. She is also part of the DIAL4U, an Erasmus + project aiming to recognise the competences in teaching and learning foreign languages with open badges.
After French-German law studies, Perrine practised 7 years as a lawyer in Merger & Acquisitions at the Paris Bar. She then moved to Lille with her family in 2009 and became the General Secretary of the French Virtual University for Health and Sport Sciences. From 2015 to 2018, she was the “Digital Expert for Higher Education, Europe and International” at the French Ministry for Higher Education and Research, part of the European Working Group for Digital Skills and Competences. Passionate about Open Education and Open Educational Resources, she was elected member of the board of Open Education Global in 2020, where she launched Open Education Global Francophone. Perrine represents the French government in the European Blockchain Partnership (policy group).
The event will take place in English. It will also be possible to have individual conversations in smaller groups at the bar or piano lounge.
