Registration/bwForCluster/Entitlement
The bwForCluster Entitlement is issued by the university you are a member of. It tells the cluster-operator that you are currently a member of this university. It also means that the university checked that your actions comply with the German Foreign Trade Act (Außenwirtschaftsgesetz - AWG) and German Foreign Trade Regulations (Außenwirtschaftsverordnung - AWV) (see eduPersonEntitlement).
