eduroam at Museums Victoria

What is eduroam?

eduroam is short for "education roaming".

Eduroam is a global initiative that gives staff and students access to the wireless networks of other educational and research institutions, with the login credentials of their home institution.

When configured eduroam users should be able to get a network connection at a visited institution just by opening their mobile device. Users are expected to have eduroam configured at your home institution before connecting at other institutions.

More information about eduroam is available from AARNet, the eduroam Australian 'roaming operator'.
