The Asia Pacific region has similar challenges and requests for training to help establish identity federations. The Australian Access Federation has been of great help there via the Task Force for Identity and Access Management (TF-IAM) in the Asia Pacific Advanced Network (APAN) consortia. I’d be happy to set up a call or do introductions to see what kind of material can be shared to help these new federations kick off.

Hi Romy,
I can give a short overview. Colleagues of mine from eduID.cz already did a training for NRENs regarding setting up a national federation and joining eduGAIN covering all details. Let me know, pls., if you will be interested in organising such training for AzScienceNet, ASNET, BASNET, GRENA, RENAM, URAN.

Dear Jiri
That's great, thanks. Would you be able to give a short presentation/overview of the different way that libraries can set up an identity management database?
Thanks, Romy
