Abstract
Jisc AIM Activities
In the last half of 2013, we undertook a community consultation to gather feedback on a draft Access and Identity Management (AIM) Strategy and Plan. The AIM Strategy outlines Jisc's high level objectives to continue the evolution of access and identity management for the UK education and research sectors and the Plan states how the strategy will be met over the coming 2 years.
In this session John will describe the AIM Strategy and Plan and highlight the portfolio of access and identity management services that are currently available and the development activities we are currently engaged in. The Jisc AIM Strategy can be found here
