eduroam is an international wireless network service for users in rearch and education, making internet connectivity globally available. The idea of eduroam was first proposed in 2003, tested by institutes over five countries in Europe. Educational institutes and NRENs in other European countries joined this infrastructure one by one later on. This service was then named "eduroam", which means "Education Roaming".
