By minimising adoption costs for SPs.
By facilitating the connection of sector specific data sources.
Facilitate learning mobility.
By enabling eIDAS cross-border electronic authentication.
By enabling cross-border exchange of sector specific attributes.
By facilitating the deployment of streamlined administrative procedures involving trusted data transfer between institutions.
Ease management of trust and data requirements.
Promote convergence with EduGAIN, cooperation with other CEF and Erasmus+ projects based on common objectives.
by offering multiple protocol endpoints, and protocol and attribute translation for academic SPs/APs.
The Gateway will be designed with a wider scope: extensible to allow adding further modular functionality to it.
Widespread mobility based on paperless procedures enabled by a widespread cross-border use of eIDAS accepted eIDs, leveraging strong legal
, proposing recommendations, road-mapping and collaboration measures
foundation of eIDAS.
Phased scalable interconnection of academic data sources and services (incl. future mutual eIDAS & eduGAIN inter-federation):
