Internet connections

The University of Valencia is a participating organisation in the Eduroam service, which allows members of participating educational establishments to gain internet access at other member sites using authentication from their home site. Participants from Eduroam member institutions will only be able to connect to the University of Valencia Eduroam service if their institution provides electronic identification. Participants must therefore ensure that their laptops/devices are correctly configured by their home institution before arriving at Valencia. Information on the Eduroam service at the University of Valencia and on Eduroam itself is available from the links below:
