13:00 → 17:00 eduID Workshop

eduID plays a role in making education more flexible: students want more freedom to put together their own curriculum, both within and outside their own educational institution. With eduID, they can easily register for a subject or minor at other educational institutions. It also contributes to lifelong development because students can use their eduID to follow programmes and courses at institutions even after their studies. Finally, eduID makes it easier for institutions to give external parties, such as guest lecturers, researchers and external advisors, access to applications relevant to them with their eduID.

The Authentication and Authorisation for Research and Collaboration (AARC) initiative was first launched in May 2015 to address the increased need for federated access and for authentication and authorisation mechanisms by research and e-infrastructures.
Today a recognised baseline for research collaboration in Europe and the world, the community encompasses e-Infrastructures deploying AAI platforms, the AEGIS group, and working groups on architecture and policy. The AARC BPA has become a reference worldwide.

The AARC TREE project closes in February 2026, so take this opportunity to experience the latest AARC BluePrint Architectuire 2025, the new Policy Development Kit, and a brand-new Compendium!
