Whether you're studying at Université Laval, UQAM, UQAC, or elsewhere, you'll undoubtedly need to use Eduroam, the wireless (Wi-Fi) network connection platform for hundreds of collegiate and university institutions. How does it work? We explain everything in this article.
To put it simply, Eduroam is a program initiated in 2003 by TERENA, a non-commercial association of national research networks.
It is a non-profit organization aiming to provide secure wireless Internet access globally. Essentially, whether you study at Université Laval, UQAM, UBC (University of British Columbia), or even in Paris or New York, you can quickly connect with the same identifier. Pretty good, right?
