Eduroam Wifi at Universities and the use of the Get Eduroam app

Eduroam (Education Roaming) is a global WiFi network specifically designed for students, staff, and researchers at universities and educational institutions. It provides a secure and easy way to access the internet worldwide at campuses, educational institutions, and other participating locations. Once you are connected to Eduroam at your own university, you can automatically and securely use the same network when visiting another participating institution, without needing to re-enter your login credentials.
