Remote work

Wireless network, webmail, VPN

There are a number of ways to facilitate working from home or other remote work. Eduroam is a wireless network open to University staff. Your email can be accessed via webmail.

Wireless network – Eduroam

This allows you to surf wirelessly from your laptop, tablet or mobile phone. The network at Lund University is called Eduroam. How to connect to Eduroam depends on the device you are using.

See guides on how to use the wireless network Eduroam on various computers and mobile phones on the LU Support website

VPN – Virtual private network

VPN stands for “Virtual Private Network" and is a technology to create a secure connection over the internet. By logging in via the VPN service, you can access internal resources at Lund University, for example Primula web, even if you are at home or on the move.

Here you can find support guides about VPN

Digital meetings

Remote work will often demand digital solutions so we can continue to communicate and meet each other. Digital meetings are environmentally friendly, efficient in terms of time and cost and are always to be considered as an option when planning meetings.

Guest login for visitors to Lund University

Visitors can connect to two different wireless networks: LU Guest or Eduroam.

LU Guest

The user selects "LU Guest" in the list of available networks on their computer or tablet. They will then be asked to enter their name and mobile phone number or email address. The login details will be sent to the user within a minute, allowing them to log in to LU Guest. The duration of the internet connections is limited to 24 hours.

Eduroam

If a guest, such as a visiting researcher, needs access to the university's network, an LU account must be created by the person responsible for the directory at the department/unit.
