The mission of REFEDS (the Research and Education FEDerations group) is to be the voice that articulates the mutual needs of research and education identity federations worldwide. The group represents the requirements of research and education in the ever-growing space of access and identity management, working with and influencing the direction of other organisations on behalf of our participants.[1]
REFEDS is managed by GÉANT→, who provide secretariat support for the group. REFEDS meets twice a year, and manages its work throughout the year via the REFEDS wiki→, the REFEDS mailing list→ and via its working groups.
