eduroam Wireless Network

Most classrooms and common areas in the Faculty buildings are covered by a Wi-Fi signal as part of the eduroam international university network (eduroam.cz). eduroam means free Wi-Fi (not only at our school). You can connect to it at academic institutions located in up to 90 countries worldwide; you will also find eduroam in libraries, train stations, and hospitals. All information on how to connect your mobile devices (notebooks, tablets, mobile handsets, etc.) to eduroam is available on the Faculty website at eduroam.natur.cuni.cz.
