If you are visiting another institution

Once your mobile device is configured to connect to AUTh’s eduroam network, you can seamlessly access eduroam wireless networks at other institutions in Greece and abroad. Your login credentials are securely transmitted to AUTh’s infrastructure, ensuring they are not exposed to third parties.

If you are visiting AUTh

If you are a member of another academic institution that participates in the eduroam infrastructure, you can connect to AUTh’s eduroam wireless network using your home institution credentials.

Hosting Conferences at AUTh

For international or other conferences hosted at AUTh facilities, departments or schools wishing to offer wireless internet access to participants may request the creation of temporary access accounts. This allows each participant, especially those from institutions not affiliated with the eduroam network or unfamiliar with the eduroam setup process, to easily connect to the AUTh wireless network. To create these temporary accounts, the event organizer must submit a request specifying the number of participants, event date, and duration. The technical coordinator of the event is responsible for distributing the temporary accounts and providing connection instructions to the guests. More Information.
