March 26, 2025 – ISFOA, the Swiss Free and Private University of International Law, has officially announced its entry into blockchain technology for certifying academic degrees. During a dedicated event held today, the university presented its integration with the international LutinX platform, marking ISFOA as one of the first universities in the world to offer secure, verifiable blockchain certification to students, faculty, and academic staff.
The initiative represents a significant evolution in the university’s digital transformation and follows ISFOA’s recent inclusion in the official Register of the European Union — a recognition that confirms the institution’s academic excellence and its role in shaping the future of European higher education.
“We are proud to be among the first universities globally to adopt blockchain as a system of academic transparency and quality assurance,”
declared Prof. Stefano Masullo, Magnificent Rector of ISFOA.
“This step confirms our commitment to innovation and to creating added value for our graduates, whose degrees will now be permanently and securely verifiable anywhere in the world.”
The use of blockchain technology ensures the immutability of academic records, protects against fraud, and facilitates international recognition of qualifications. The integration with LutinX provides ISFOA graduates with a competitive edge in the global job market, while streamlining administrative processes and reducing bureaucracy.
Present at the event was also Alessandro Civati, CEO of LutinX, who emphasized the strategic significance of the collaboration:
“This initiative promotes merit and creates equal opportunities for professional growth. With blockchain-certified degrees, ISFOA graduates can instantly and securely validate their academic credentials anywhere in the world,” said Civati.
“This partnership not only enhances the value of academic titles but also positions ISFOA at the forefront of digital education.”
The new certification system benefits not only students but also professors, researchers, and institutional partners, as all parties involved can now rely on a modern, tamper-proof infrastructure for managing academic records.
The move places ISFOA in line with the most advanced global institutions, confirming its position as a pioneer in the integration of digital technologies with education. It also responds to a broader push toward greater transparency, international mobility, and innovation in higher education.
By adopting blockchain and receiving recognition from the European Union, ISFOA reaffirms its role as a leading institution in the global e-learning ecosystem — committed to providing quality, credibility, and future-ready solutions for a new generation of learners.
