What is OpenAthens?
OpenAthens is a single sign-on service that lets University of Europe for Applied Sciences students, faculty, and staff securely access the university’s online resources from anywhere. Once you're logged in with your University of Europe credentials, you can explore journals, databases, and other academic content—just as if you were on campus.
Why use OpenAthens?
Many of the resources provided by University of Europe for Applied Sciences, such as databases and e-journals, are restricted to users on the campus network. OpenAthens allows you to access these resources remotely by securely confirming your University of Europe login, so you don’t have to be on site to get what you need.
What’s the difference between EZproxy, OpenAthens, and VPN?
EZproxy and VPNs have traditionally been used to simulate on-campus access by rerouting traffic through university IPs. OpenAthens represents a shift away from IP-based models by using a cloud-based authentication system that identifies users individually. This allows OpenAthens to be more flexible and scalable across platforms, and it often requires less maintenance for IT departments. VPNs remain useful for broader internal network access, but for licensed digital content, OpenAthens often provides a more streamlined experience.
