InAcademia is a service that can be used* by organisations to validate if a potential customer is entitled to its academic discounts and services. InAcademia does not form part of the supply chain in buying the product or service, instead it’s an auxiliary service that prevents the need for users to send scans or originals of identity documents to the organisations they wish to buy from or connect with.
