RNP publishes call for proposals for the Identity Management Program 2021
RNP invites the academic community to participate in the call for proposals for the short-term Identity Management Program 2021. The call is to receive suggestions for R&D projects related to conceptual studies or the execution of proof-of-concept that contribute to the prospecting and identification of challenges in Research, Development, and Innovation in identity management.
Submissions will be accepted until 18/4. The projects selected will be followed up by members of the Technical Committee of Identity Management (CT-GId), coordinated by RNP in partnership with the academic community to support the development of services offered through technology prospecting.
