Eduroam (education roaming) provides wireless Internet connection inside higher education spaces. It is available not only in PZI but through the HRO buildings, as well in other academic institutions around the world.

To join the Eduroam wifi network you need your student number and the password that was sent by HRO in a letter, in the beginning of your studies at PZI.

The student number will provide you your login name, which will be:

your_student_number@student.hro.nl
