- +
-eduroam allows students, researchers and staff from participating institutions to obtain Internet connectivity across campus and when visiting other participating institutions by simply opening their laptop. +
- +
-Having started in Europe, eduroam has gained momentum throughout the research and education community world wide. +
-Currently there are four regional eduroam confederations (for a detailed view of the countries that belong to each confederation,​ select the regional confederation above): +
-  * in Europe (http://​www.eduroam.org/?​p=europe) +
