Attending the ERUA 2026 Summit? Get Your ERUA-iD Ready Before You Arrive
For the first time, ERUA-iD will be required for all Summit participants, affiliated with an ERUA university.
Already have your ERUA-iD? If you issued your ERUA-iD for previous ERUA events and still have the GATACA Wallet app installed on your phone, you do not need to issue it again.
Who needs to issue the ERUA-iD?
All ERUA 2026 Summit registrants, including students, members of the teaching, reasearch or administrative staff of an ERUA university are required to have their ERUA-iD on their phones before the 18th of November. This requirement does not apply to external stakeholders who are not affiliated with an ERUA university.
What is the ERUA-iD?
ERUA-iD is a secure digital identity trusted across ERUA universities. It consists of two verifiable iDs:
- University-iD: Confirms that you are affiliated (student, administrative or teaching staff) with your home university.
- Alliance-iD: Confirms your affiliation with the ERUA Alliance.
Both iDs are stored in the GATACA Wallet app on your phone and will be used to verify your registration and attendance at the ERUA 2026 Summit and other ERUA events.
