Introduction

Identity management (IM) is an increasingly important cross-sectoral issue. This workshop is being facilitated by the EPIC Regional Forum for ePortfolios and PDP. It will include input from eDentity who are forging a regional collaboration for a large cross-sectoral pilot of Identity Management in the NE. The workshop will be of interest to a broad group including directors/policy leaders, registrars as well as those with an interest in IM technologies.
