The SWITCHaai federation is focused on higher education in Switzerland and coordinated by SWITCH - The Swiss Education and Research Network. The federation is built on Shibboleth software and covers all Swiss universities as well as some universities of applied sciences. Meanwhile, more than 75% of all users in the Swiss higher education system have an AAI-enabled account. More than 10% of these users regularly access AAI-enabled resources, which steadily increase both in number and variety.

SWITCH is participating in JRA-5/eduGAIN.
