Twenty-nine schools from all six countries responded to the eduroam, connectivity and policy questions. The numbers of responding schools per country are as follows:
Country | Number | Number |
Greece | 5 | 9 |
Hungary | 1 | 7 |
Italy | 4 | 16 |
Lithuania | 10 | 10 |
Poland | 7 | 8 |
Spain | 2 | 3 |
The goal of this survey research was to be able to generalise the survey results obtained for a sample, i.e. eventually 29 schools, to describe the whole population, which is 53 initially known pilot schools. Results collected from the sample of more than half of the whole population, including roughly equal responsiveness from particular countries, are considered to be representative of the whole population of interest. Only a low level of responsiveness from Hungary, where one of seven schools responded to the survey, might be thought to potentially lead us to wrong conclusions. However, as presented in Section 1.3, Hungary is very well-advanced in terms of eduroam at schools.

The leaders with regard to promoting and implementing eduroam at high schools are Croatia and Hungary, in which more than one thousand schools provide eduroam networks. The two countries also reported that implementations were possible because of funding received for building or renewing IT infrastructure at schools.

The results of this analysis of existing eduroam locations is provided below.
Country | All locations | Libraries | Museums |
Germany | 2134 | 34 | 6 |
Greece | 151 | 5 | 1 |
Hungary | 1693 | 5 | 0 |
Italy | 1136 | 46 | 3 |
Lithuania | 289 | 5 | 1 |
Poland | 910 | 42 | 1 |
Portugal | 163 | 0 | 1 |
Spain | 627 | 19 | 4 |
This analysis shows rather poor general eduroam availability in the selected categories of locations. The cause of that is probably that eduroam originally started as a service for universities and research institutions, and there is still no common and international agreement about whether to engage other types of locations and, if so, which. However, we assume that the development of eduroam networks in other locations will advance, in parallel with the planned development in schools identified in the GÉANT survey.
