Promote the employability of students and the influence of Francophone university programs? One of the priorities of the “Agence Universitaire de la Francophonie” (AUF), a network of more than 1,000 French-speaking universities around the world.

AUF has just agreed on an exclusive partnership offer for the benefit of its university network and its partners with BCdiploma, a leading solution for the certification of diplomas, attestations and certificates of competence via blockchain technology.

The exclusive offer signed with BCdiploma allows the network of AUF member universities and its partners to issue tamper-proof, multilingual online certificates in just a few clicks, which can be shared on professional networks and resumes. Graduates receive a unique and secure URL link that they can use freely for life.

Constantly striving to offer its members innovative digital services, the AUF, through its specialized institute, the “Institut Francophone pour l’Ingénierie de la Connaissance et la Formation à Distance” (IFIC), in partnership with BCdiploma, has carried out the first deployments of academic certificates, requested by several AUF member universities throughout the French-speaking world: Canada, Tunisia, Vietnam, Egypt, etc., resulting in the issuance of thousands of blockchain certificates.

As a base for the storage and transmission of tamper-proof information, it allows the digital creation of official documents, such as diplomas and certificates, or even Open Badges, which are increasingly used to promote acquired skills.
