    Notes and requirements

  • In the congress centre “darmstadtium”
    The management of the convention centre darmstatium decided to switch on the “Eduroam” WLAN only in case TU Darmstadt is the presenting host of an event. In case of request please contact the management.
  • worldwide eduroam locations: www.eduroam.org

If you are missing Wi-Fi in any places on campus or have problems with connectivity, please email us at . We will then try to plan the expansion accordingly.

Usually the “eduroam” profile is the right choice.
