About the project:
This research is conducted by the team members of the project “Identity Management in PUbLic Services” (hereinafter “IMPULSE” or “Project”). IMPULSE is a 36-month research project funded by the Horizon 2020 Programme of the European Union. The Project is composed by 16 European partners (hereinafter the “Consortium”) and its goals are:
