EDUROAM
At the moment some University buildings (e.g. the Fiore di Botta) are not covered by a stable Wi-Fi connection and often students are forced to use their own Internet connection to study. We will ask the University to run a check on the Eduroam network to guarantee Internet coverage in all classrooms and libraries
SIM
This year the free 60Gb SIM cards given by the University during the pandemic have been deactivated. We believe that this measure could still be of great help to the student community, especially considering that Eduroam does not guarantee a stable connection in all University buildings, and that in general students are required more and more to use online resources such as Moodle, often using their own mobile data.
We therefore ask the University to provide a free SIM card of the same value (or just a bit less), given that it would not be a particularly heavy yearly expense. This solution seems even more justified by the fact that this year UniPd will not guarantee the scholarship to all eligible candidates.
Although a SIM card cannot in any way replace what is due by right to all students eligible for a scholarship, it would be a first step towards helping students, especially off-site ones, to face the costs they need to have the Internet connection they need to study.
