Why is eduroam so beneficial to the user
The potential for enhancing education and research is immense. By taking away the logistical hassle of connecting to foreign networks and dealing with unfamiliar systems, eduroam and eduGAIN allow academics to do what they do best – research and educate. The savings in time alone will be immense, but the possibilities for active and enduring academic collaboration between countries and institutions will be invaluable.
