2. http://aarc-project.eu AARC Vision and Objectives 2 Impacts Create a cross-e-infrastructure ‘network’ for identities Reduce duplication of efforts in the service delivery Improve the penetration of federated access Outputs Design of integrated AAI built on federated access Harmonised policies to easy cross-discipline collaboration Pilot selected use-cases Offer a diversified training package Avoid a future in which new research collaborations develop independent AAIs https://aarc-project.eu/

3. http://aarc-project.eu 3 Structure 3 Architecture (GRNET) To research ways to deliver the design of an integrated AAI Policy Harmonisation (NIKEF) To define scalable policies and operational models for the integrated AAI Pilots (SURFnet) To pilot key components of the integrated AAI and policy results Training and Outreach (TERENA) To train, disseminate and reach out Management (GEANT) Liaison with other relevant user communities, e-Infrastructures and international relevant AAI activities

4. http://aarc-project.eu 4 ‘Fix’ eduGAIN Harmonise attribute semantics Fix the attribute release Do all kind of trainings Fix all the problems in the universe! What people think AARC does

5. http://aarc-project.eu 5 What AARC does Help research communities to use federated access Address some of the FIM4R requirements Deliver a blueprint architecture to enable users to access services operated by different e- Infrastructures Prepare documentation and training on AARC and REFEDS results, key aspect of federated access and eduGAIN etc
