Accessing the Eduroam network

The Eduroam service at a glance

The mobility service for the RENATER community (Eduroam) sets out to provide secure wireless Internet access for staff in higher education and research institutions when they are travelling to an Eduroam member institution. It covers most European countries and some Asian/Pacific countries.

Users must use their normal login settings (username and password) for their home institution at all institutions belonging to the Eduroam network.
Hcéres has been a member of the Eduroam network since 2016. The use of this service requires compliance with the Eduroam and RENATER charters.
