Eduroam is the preferred network for students and staff at Aarhus university. You can get easy and automatic access to the internet at aarhus university and at other universities in denmark or abroad with eduroam since it is an international collaboration with hundreds of universities participating worldwide. Visit www.eduroam.org to see the list of participating institutions.

You only need to set up eduroam once on your device. it automatically connects when it detects eduroam in the air. this also applies if you visit a foreign university where eduroam is also available.
