#eduroam has been named one of the 13 Dutch brilliant breakthroughs by the Dutch Research Council (NWO)

Created in 2002 by Klaas Wierenga, eduroam started as a simple idea: make Wi-Fi secure, easy & free for students and researchers, wherever they go.

Today, eduroam connects people at almost 40,000 locations in 106 countries. In 2024 alone, it recorded over 8.4 billion authentications.

👏👏 Congrats to all its contributors from the R&E community for building a service with such global impact.
