Future of Identity Management for Research Video
Stream fr
On Thursday, May 21, Eduserve is holding a free symposium on the
Future of Identity and Access Management for Research in London. There
will be a free video stream of this symposium available for those who
can't be there in person. I've reproduced the detailed
information from Andy Powell at Eduserve below. This is a great
opportunity to get a better understanding of some of the ways identity
and access management will interact with cyberinfrastructure and
e-research developments.Those in the United States will need to get up
early, however!
