    Report summary

    In the process of extending the extra-ordinary accreditation of the Faculty of Design, the commission evaluated both study programs, proposing to the Council of the Agency that most of the indications detected by the previous commission have been fulfilled. During the extraordinary evaluation, the group of experts also checked all the recommendations of the previous commission. During its work, the commission identified many recommendations regarding advantages and suggestions for improvement of individual courses, but did not discover inconsistencies in operation. Our joint call is for the Faculty of Design to step even more boldly into the Slovenian and international space, to strengthen its capacities in terms of teaching staff, to build first of all on its tradition, mission and vision, to strengthen student integration and internal integration, cooperation among graduates (as mentors for specific fields) and connects and is also involved in various multidisciplinary events and projects, and persistently records this on its website. In addition, it can become even more involved in the Erasmus, Cmepius and other international programs, thereby securing additional funding resources. In addition, it should strengthen its visibility both in the area of education, as well as in the business and artistic areas.

Verifiable Credentials

A Verifiable Credential (VC) is a digitally-signed and thus tamper-evident document containing information on a subject (e.g. personal information, entitlements of an individual, degrees held by an individual or accreditation of a higher education institution). Quality assurance results recorded in DEQAR can be downloaded as W3C-compatible Verifiable Credentials.

Currently, two types of credentials can be issued:

EBSI Verifiable Accreditations (VA) can be used by a higher education institution in the context of the EBSI Early Adopters programme.

  • The VA allows the institution to prove its external quality assurance on the Trusted Issuer Registry (TIR). EBSI VAs are only issued for external quality assurance results with an official status in a national system (“part of obligatory EQA system”).
  • At present, the higher education institution’s EBSI DID needs to be communicated to EQAR and recorded in DEQAR manually at the moment. If you are a higher education institution participating in EBSI, please contact us to register your DID.
  • EBSI VAs are issued by EQAR under its DID did:ebsi:zk4bhCepWSYp9RhZkRPiwUL.

DEQAR Format Verifiable Credentials primarily serve as a proof of concept and public demonstrator currently.

  • DEQAR Format VCs are based on the plain W3C Recommendation and our own data model. While they closely follow the EBSI Schema, no EBSI-specific or EU-specific elements or data types are used.
  • The higher education institution is identified by its DEQAR URI in this case.
  • DEQAR Format VCs are issued by EQAR under its DID did:web:data.deqar.eu.

Please note: this is an experimental feature.
