The registration procedure is expected to be completed for the next two weeks. Eduroam service was created by the working group of the Trans-European association of research and educational institutions (TERENA).

At present, Eduroam is deployed in more than 35 research and educational institutions in Europe. Eduroam service will allow employees of scientific institutions and the education system to get free access to the Internet during business trips.
A user can connect to the Internet using his username and password, which are valid only in "educational roaming". Each organization has its own server providing authentication of users on the network.
