If you are outside the University's wired or wireless network, you can use network connections by sharing the mobile data connection on your phone or tablet. Sharing takes place in a slightly different way depending on the phone model, but it can be found in the phone menus with the words "hotspot", "mobile data", "mobile access point", "network sharing" or something similar.
More information on the University connections and information security in remote work is available on this Flamma page.
More information on mobile phone subscriptions, and, in particular, on the operation of subscriptions abroad, is available on this Flamma page.
