eduroam Wireless Network

Most classrooms and common areas in the faculty buildings are covered by the Wi-Fi signal of the international eduroam network. This is a great benefit: not only is it available free of charge throughout the university campus, but it also allows you to connect automatically at academic institutions in more than 90 countries around the world. Today, eduroam is commonly available not only at universities, but also in libraries, hospitals, and even railway stations. Once you configure your laptop or mobile device, it will automatically connect to the network at other universities and academic institutions, both in the Czech Republic and abroad. Detailed setup instructions can be found at eduroam.natur.cuni.cz.

The wireless network is provided through CESNET, which also offers several useful services for students. Simply log in using your university credentials (the same ones you use for CAS) to access the following tools:

OwnCloud – A secure cloud storage service that provides up to 100 GB of space for synchronizing files between your computer and mobile devices.

FileSender – An ideal service for quickly sending very large files (up to 500 GB) that would be too large for standard email.

MetaCentrum – If your studies require computationally intensive tasks, this service provides access to high-performance computing resources. MetaCentrum NGI 

Web Conferences – An online environment for meetings and seminars that runs directly in your web browser without requiring additional software.

Detailed information about Wi-Fi setup is available at eduroam.natur.cuni.cz, and further information about these and other services can be found on the CESNET website.
