Looking to explore advancements in digital identity management and student information systems across European higher education? This session covers the need to implement cross-border identity verification and access for international students in Swedish universities, automated course enrollment for European exchange students using eduGAIN and MyAcademicID in The Netherlands, and Norway's implementation of a shared Identity and Access Management (IAM) system. Together, these initiatives demonstrate the education sector's progress toward easing international student mobility while addressing key challenges in security, data quality, and institutional autonomy in an increasingly interconnected academic landscape.
Chair: Ann West (Internet2)
Automating International Guest Student Enrollment
In this TNC Talk, a technical solution is presented for the automatic enrollment of European exchange students in their selected courses at a host institution. The speakers will demonstrate how a student logs in to their home institution via eduGAIN and how OAuth tokens, issued by MyAcademicID, enable and secure the communication between institutions.
Speakers: Ben Parker (TU Eindhoven/EuroTeQ), Peter Havekes (SURF)

Enabling Cross-Border Access to Ladok
National identity schemes are often incompatible across borders, complicating access to essential services when moving internationally. IT systems struggle with verifying identities using localized attributes, causing inefficiencies, manual workarounds, and loss of student access. This is particularly problematic in education, where long-term access to academic records is necessary. Efforts within global identity federations and the EU aim to enhance interoperability using academic identities and ePassports. Addressing these challenges is essential for institutions managing cross-border identity assurance and secure access, as exemplified by the Swedish Student Information System, Ladok.

A “Shared IAM” solution for Norway´s Higher Education
There is a lot of focus on IT- security measures in all organisations, but do we pay
sufficient attention to the people who navigate the organisation’s data and systems? The speaker believes more could and should be done to improve how we handle access rights and the quality of data about access rights. This presentation will discuss the rationales behind and experiences with the implementation of a common IAM solution for Higher Education & Research in Norway.
