People who can access this service

At UIC Barcelona this service is only for people who have an institutional e-mail address (@uic.es) or people from other institutions that are linked up to the eduroam roaming access service. The credentials for access are as follows:

  • "username@uic.es" + password, for PDI and PAS staff members and UIC Barcelona students.
  • "name of_account" + password, for people from other institutions also linked up to eduroam.

From where can I access the service?

You can access the service from the university or institution to which you belong, as well as from any other institution affiliated with the eduroam project.

How do I connect to the service?

To connect to SSID eduroam, your device (whether it’s a mobile phone, a tablet or a laptop etc) must have a safe client program that is compatible with EAP-TTLS+PAP mode.  Not all operating systems have one, therefore in those cases it will be necessary to install additional software.
