eduGAIN is expanding across South-East Europe! 🌍
Seamless, secure access to academic resources is key to collaboration, mobility and research advancement across Europe. GÉANT’s flagship services like eduGAIN and play a crucial role in making it possible.
Recently, training initiatives in Serbia and North Macedonia helped more institutions in the region connect to eduGAIN:
📍 Serbia: The Academic Network of the Republic of Serbia (Akademska mreža Republike Srbije - AMRES) hosted a series of training sessions for its member institutions, guiding them through the process of joining the iAMRES Identity Federation and eduGAIN.
📍 North Macedonia: The Faculty of Computer Science and Engineering - Skopje (Факултет за информатички науки и компјутерско инженерство (ФИНКИ), in collaboration with MARnet, held a national workshop for IT specialists from six universities, helping them implement eduroam and eduGAIN.
With these efforts, students, researchers, and academics in South-East Europe will now have seamless, secure access to a wealth of academic resources such as the ones provided by the EU Node and greater participation in pan-European initiatives like the Erasmus programme.
👏 A big applause to everyone involved for driving these efforts forward!
