eduroam: The worldwide Wi-Fi roaming service for academia

What is eduroam

Academics and students are highly mobile with teams joining together around the globe. Research and Education are no longer limited to the classroom or the lab – researchers and students expect to be able to get online and work wherever and whenever they need to.

This is why eduroam was developed - to provide simple, easy-to-use WiFi roaming services to academia. One personal account wherever you are. No need to use shared guest accounts or log in using insecure web front ends. eduroam was designed to meet the needs of academic users worldwide.

Because visiting students, staff and researchers use their eduroam ‘home’ credentials to access Wi-Fi services on campus, they have a quick, easy and secure way to get online without campus IT support

The secure login system means that passwords are kept private at all times.
