The Identity Federations Virtual Day its promoted by: RedCLARA, TAGPMA and TERENA with active participation from the ELCIRA and CAINREDS projects.

On the Identity Federations Virtual Day we will discuss the topic of easy access to specialized academic services around the world. Identity management is a complex process that enables users to access to resources and services of Universities and Research Centres in an easy but secure manner.

The agenda will involve the participation of experts from the United States of America (Derek Simmel and Jim Basney) whom will speak about their experiences with two of the most important academic federations from that country. We will also have from the "old continent" David Kelsey and Roberto Barbera whom will take share their journey and lessons learnt in the process of getting transnational federations that allow access to highly specialized resources from all the corners of Europe. Finally, from Latin America will have representatives from the ELCIRA project that aims to develop federations in our region.

HOW TO PARTICIPATE

The event will take place through the academic videoconferencing rooms in the different Universities and research centres of Latin America and Spain. Universities from Spain that have connection with RedCLARA, are welcome to participate and register their rooms and invited their academic communities.

Participants in the videoconference rooms will experiment the event live and with a visual and oral interaction from the panelists (through the high speed connections from RedCLARA) with the possibility of ask questions to the speakers.
