Subject: [InC] Research & Education Federations survey
Date: Thu, 25 Apr 2019 18:33:20 +0000

Dear Colleague, We would value your insights as we explore the future of access to research and scholarly services. SHARE YOUR OPINIONS IN A SURVEY More than 60 countries collaboratively operate a global federated identity infrastructure that enables scholars, researchers, students, and staff to login to academic resources and services. This infrastructure helps to enable research and scholarly activities by giving users a simple single sign-on experience using their home institution credentials.   The international organisation representing this global effort, called REFEDS, is undertaking a strategic review of how the global identity infrastructure affects individuals and what circumstances may arise over the next 10-15 years that operators of this global infrastructure should anticipate and prepare for. Please share your input via the following survey, which should take about 20 minutes: https://forms.gle/MdZM3FXN6nsj7Krn8 If this link is not accessible, please contact federation2-survey AT lists.refeds.org.
