InAcademia is provided by the European research network organization GÉANT, and all Norwegian institutions can access InAcademia through Feide.
Ensuring Security and Privacy
InAcademia ensures that only a minimum amount of personal data is used to confirm the affiliation of students and staff, and that this data is anonymized so that commercial providers do not gain access to it. This allows students and staff to access services and discounts without having to copy student IDs, employment letters and the like, and without having to provide unnecessary personal information.
Free Service
The service is partially funded by EU funds and partially through payments from providers. It is completely free for institutions, staff, and students.
Among the providers using InAcademia for verification are Microsoft, Tableau, Lufthansa, Spotify, Tidal, and SoundCloud.
All your educational institution needs to do is activate InAcademia in the Feide customer portal the same way as other Feide services, and your students and staff will easily gain access to services and discounts from a range of providers. The service must be activated by your institutions Feide administrator.
