– Main Topic–

Back to the Future: Connecting the European Higher Education accreditation framework to the VC ecosystem with Colin Tuck. <https://www.linkedin.com/in/colin-tueck/> 

Colin is the Director of EQAR <https://www.eqar.eu/>, the European Quality Assurance Registry. 
In most European countries, higher education institutions or study programmes are subject to regular external review by a quality assurance agency. The European Quality Assurance Register for Higher Education (EQAR) is a register of such agencies, listing those that substantially comply with a common set of principles for quality assurance in Europe

EQAR is one of the early implementer of the European Blockchain Service Infrastructure Trusted Issuer Registry. This is what we will be discussing. Here is a useful pre-call reading <https://www.eqar.eu/qa-results/synergies/european-blockchain-service-infrastructure-ebsi/>
