2011-08-01

The INDICATE e-Culture Science Gateway, besides GARR IDEM, has been interfaced also with the CARSI (CERNET Authentication and Resource Sharing Infrastructure, http://carsi.edu.cn) Identity Federation established in China.

CARSI gathers Identity Providers from about 30 chinese universities and research centres with millions of registered users. Some of them are already able to access and browse the INDICATE use case repositories.
Among the CARSI members, there is the Peking University INDICATE is cooperating with.

This work has been done within the collaboration between INDICATE and EPIKH (www.epikh.eu) and represents another step forward towards the widening of the number of users of e-Infrastructures through Science Gateways.
