What is eduroam?

eduroam (education roaming) is the secure, trusted and easy-to-use world-wide WiFi roaming access service developed for the international research and education community.

eduroam allows students, teachers, researchers and staff from participating institutions to obtain Internet connectivity across campus and when visiting other participating institutions by simply opening their mobile phone, tablet or laptop.

One credential. Global access.

How does authentication work?

The eduroam principle is based on the fact that the user's authentication is done by the user's home institution, whereas the authorization decision allowing access to the network resources is done by the visited network.

What about security at visited sites?

Please be aware that when using the general Internet at an eduroam hotspot, the local site security measures at that hotspot will apply to you as well. The firewall settings at the visited institution may be different from those you are used to at your home institution, and as a guest you may have access to fewer services on the Internet than you have at home.
