Roundtable meeting on access and authentication (London, UK)

ALPSP and Eduserv (the organization behind Athens, amongst other things) are getting together to hold a roundtable meeting on the morning of Friday 13 February 2009.

The meeting will begin at 10am at the Royal Society of Chemistry, Burlington House, London.

The roundtable meeting will be to discuss access management in an environment characterized by national access management federations and in particular attitudes of publishers towards the support of international customers in this context.

In order to get the maximum benefit, attendees should have some technical knowledge of access management and of the issues surrounding Shibboleth although the roundtable meeting will be strategic in nature and therefore will not cover specific technical issues relating to supporting Shibboleth implementations.

The roundtable meeting is free to attend but numbers are very strictly limited. If you would like to express your interest in attending then please contact me as soon as possible.

ALPSP and Eduserv would like to express our thanks to the Royal Society of Chemistry for providing the meeting room for this event.
