What international frameworks support EASEC?
EASEC is anchored in 9 independent international frameworks — from the European Commission, the UN, and the World Economic Forum.
EASEC does not operate within a proprietary framework. Every dimension of the standard — from the competency taxonomy to the credential infrastructure — is anchored in publicly documented, independently maintained frameworks. These are the nine frameworks behind every EASEC certification:
1. ESCO — European Skills Classification
All 32 EASEC competencies are mapped to their corresponding ESCO node. ESCO is the language already used by European HR systems, LinkedIn, and public employment services.
2. EQF — European Qualifications Framework
EASEC's 5 certification levels correspond directly to EQF 1–8 descriptors. An EASEC Level IV (Strategic) corresponds to EQF Level 6 descriptors.
3. Europass — Registered Issuer
EASEC is a registered issuer under the European Commission's Europass Digital Credentials Infrastructure (EDCI). Credentials are deposited directly into the recipient's Europass Wallet.
4. eIDAS 2.0 — Qualified Electronic Seal
Every Europass EDC credential carries a Qualified Electronic Seal (QSeal) — the highest level of electronic trust under EU law. It carries the same legal standing as a physical institutional seal.
5. EBSI — EU Blockchain
Credentials are verifiable through EBSI (European Blockchain Services Infrastructure), ensuring the record persists independently of EASEC's internal systems.
6–9. WEF, UNESCO, Tuning and Open Badges 3.0
The competency framework is documentedly aligned with WEF Future of Jobs 2025, UNESCO Transversal Competencies, the Tuning higher education taxonomy, and is issued in 1EdTech Open Badges 3.0 format for global portability.
