Why Use InAcademia?

Real-time Student
Verification

InAcademia is a cost-effective, fast and secure service that validates academic affiliation.

It replaces unreliable email domain-based verification methods, mitigates AI-generated identity scams and lowers operational overheads. 

Using InAcademia reduces the need to collect, process and store personally identifiable information such as student cards.

Supports Online Retail and
Digital Services

InAcademia helps businesses to protect revenue, by providing vital evidence that a customer claiming to be eligible for niche discounts and services is actually entitled to access them.

To deliver real-time and trustworthy evidence of academic affiliation, InAcademia leverages the eduGAIN Interfederation. This connection allows it to securely access trusted, authoritative data sources hosted and used by academic institutions and students every day.

Privacy by Design and by Default

InAcademia was designed with data minimisation and privacy at the heart of its architecture.

Using InAcademia means that you no longer need to request, process or store user data for verification purposes, or exchange personally identifiable information, such as names and email addresses, with third parties to verify the academic affiliation of users. Users can be confident they are not sharing more personal information with you than is necessary.
