From Trust to Tokens: Operationalising AARC-based Federated AAI in Research Infrastructures (open)
This session is a part of EGI2026. This interactive workshop explores how Research Infrastructures and Research Communities can implement interoperable AAI services based on the AARC Blueprint Architecture and Technical Guidelines. Participants will examine real-world federation scenarios, policy frameworks, and cross-infrastructure workflows. Through guided discussions and practical examples, we will analyse trust models, attribute harmonisation, and operational challenges in federated environments.
