eduroam
eduroam which stands for "Education Roaming" allows users of participating institutions to access the wireless network at other participating organizations using their home institution's credentials. All this with a minimal adminstrative overhead. Depending on local policies at the visited institutions, eduroam participants may also have additional resources at their disposal.

Hint
Basically it is recommended to try your eduroam configuration first of all at your home organization (the university or educational institution where you are registered). Hence in case of any problems you have the possibility of local internet connection and you can ask for help in your institution. In most instances eduroam will work at other locations, if you had no problems in your home organization.
Tips in case of problems
If you have problems to connect to eduroam in one of the listed organizations, please follow these steps:
- Check your WLAN and encryption settings. Make use of the configuration guides on the website of the respective organization.
e.g. WLAN Anleitung der Universität Wien - Contact the support of your home organization. They can test local settings and check your authentication.
- If there are no problems on the part of your home organization, it is probably a local problem. Please contact the local support of the organization where you try to connect with eduroam.
