• To promote, coordinate and support the effort to create in the Caribbean, Africa and Asia an authorisation and authentication infrastructure (AAI) for academic services and processes.
• To promote, coordinate and support the effort to create in the Caribbean, Africa and Asia an eduroam infrastructure and processes for researchers and academics.
• To create eduroam Roaming Operators in at least two countries per region.
• To create pilot identity federations in two countries in each region as a basis for further expansion through the region.
• To provide a local boot camp to develop federation and eduroam experts in at least two countries per region.
• To create virtual courses to be used by Federation and eduroam experts to provide local training in their own constituency.
• To provide technical knowledge and policy requirements to integrate new federations and European federations.
• To provide technical knowledge to create interoperability and interoperation with new federations.

MAGIC aims at promote and foster global collaboration, in order to achieve that goal, it is vital to count on e-Infrastructures that efficiently communicate and contact in real time the worldwide scientific and academic communities and members. This is when and why the platforms for mobility are key.

MAGIC is hardly working to foster the deployment of the platforms that enable mobility of people and seamless access to services by promoting the establishment of identity federations interconnected via eduGAIN, creating awareness of privacy and security issues, and spreading eduroam by: sharing experiences, carrying out training and making available shared infrastructure to ease the process in the partner world regions.

The Remote Instrumentation community aims to increase engagement of practitioners, researchers, academics and students involved or interested in remote instrumentation from various countries across the world, in identifying issues, concerns and sharing best practices with a view to establishing global networking and collaboration, and greater use of the Colaboratorio platform.

Thematic Leader: Patricia Santiago, Associate Professor Physics Institute, Universidad Autónoma de México (UNAM), Mexico
