The Npuls Eduwallet Project explores the practical use of self-sovereign identity (SSI), digital wallets, and verifiable credentials (VCs) to support lifelong learning in the Netherlands. Aligned with European developments in digital identity and eIDAS2. 

Through the creation of a sandbox environment, including a demonstrator and pilot implementations, the project seeks to enable learners to securely manage and share their academic identity, qualifications, and credentials across institutions and employers.

Early outcomes have been promising, with a functional prototype developed and pilot testing underway. These real-world use cases involve students and institutions actively engaging with the wallet ecosystem and verifiable credential technologies, including the underlying trust layer.

In this presentation, we will:
•    Introduce the Npuls.nl Eduwallet Project
•    Deliver a live demonstration of real-world eduwallet use cases
•    Share findings and key learnings from the pilots
