AARC Engagement Group for InfrastructureS


The AARC Engagement Group for Infrastructures(AEGIS) brings together representatives from research and e-infrastructures, operators of AAI services to bridge communication gaps and make the most of common synergies. AEGIS ultimately enhances the wider and more effective uptake of AAI recommendations by infrastructures in their federated access solutions, so that they can focus on providing other support for research activities.


Objectives and Scope of AEGIS

  • Consult the expertise of participants for feedback on AAI activities;
  • showcase ongoing implementation efforts of the AARC Blueprint Architecture;
  • promote a consistent vision for federated access;
  • facilitate activities for the adoption of harmonised solutions and avoid ‘reinventing’ the wheel;
  • report on the adoption of and provide guidance on the AARC guidelines;
  • provide a home for the adoption and further development of the AARC Blueprint Architecture;
  • maintain, develop, and organisationally support the AARC community;
  • liaise with other entities in the AAI ecosystem.

`The AARC2 project, like AARC, has made the strategic choice to entrust the implementation and the operations of the AARC results to existing research infrastructure and e-infrastructures. This choice is based on the consideration that existing infrastructures are better positioned to deploy and operate services and to implement any recommendations and best practices to guarantee sustainability and support for the scientific communities. For this reason, AARC2 will work, whenever possible, with research infrastructures and e-infrastructures, which will act as the delivery channel between AARC2 and the user communities they represent.

The "AARC Engagement Group for InfrastructureS" (AEGIS) will establish bi-directional channels between AARC2 and the infrastructures to advise each other on the developments and production integration aspects of the AARC results. The group will be composed by representatives of e-infrastructures and well-established research infrastructures as well as the AARC2 work package leaders and will be supported by the outreach and communication activity (NA2).

The group will ensure that:

  • the results of AARC2 are known to all research infrastructures and e-infrastructures;

  • infrastructures and AARC2 team can discuss AARC2 sustainability models, implementation aspects and approaches to use-cases that may be received by AARC2;

  • all key parties share the same vision and the same information about AARC2 objectives and developments in the trust and identity area even if they may be in different deployment phases.
