Wifi & online access
Access within the UGent network
You can log in with your UGent account and password via the PCs in the Knowledge Centre.
If you wish to log in using a wireless device (laptop, tablet or smartphone), this is possible via the eduroam network.
Access outside the UGent network (from home)
If you wish to log in to the UGent network from home, you can start a browser session via Athena. In this session you can access all scientific sources for which Ghent University has a subscription.
Access via the UZ Gent network
UZ Gent employees have access to all resources on the UZ Gent network. Off-campus employees can work via a browser on Artemis.
As a guest?
If you are not an employee or student at UGent, you can only use the PCs in the Knowledge Centre. You must log in with ‘ugentguest’.
