Events on the campus/Event office

There is much more to do on the campus than research and education! Activities for students and employers can be found almost every day, hosted by study- and student organizations, studies, institutes, Kennispark Twente or by the University itself. Regularly there are events for people outside the university as well. Think of lectures, workshops, theatre, symposia, etc.

Known events from the last couple of years:

-

Batavierenrace (biggest relay-race worldwide, from Nijmegen to Enschede with 8000 students)

-

Create Tomorrow (biggest student collaboration of the Netherlands, where groups work on creative solutions for business and governmental cases)

-

Concerts/festivals like Campuspop/Citymoves (with for example Anouk, Caro Emerald, Waylon, Candy Dulfer, Tiësto)

Events of the UT, that are accessible for everybody, will be announced on www.utwente.nl/en (direct link: www.utwente.nl/en/activities). Specific events for students and employers can be found on the student and employers portal my.utwente.nl or on the website of the concerning study/faculty/study association.

Introducing the Events Office

As the name implies, the Events Office has been set up to organize events at the University of Twente. We can take care of all details, from hiring a marquee to applying for the necessary permits and requesting estimates. Our services range from providing support to arranging the entire event – from a visit by Queen Beatrix to a student party, from a guided tour for two persons to a concert for

an audience of 35 000. Whatever the event you have in mind, we are there to help you. The head of the Events Office is Tonnie Buitink.

Safety first

The University of Twente attaches great importance to safety. It has therefore been decided that all events great and small held on campus must be reported to the Events Office. We are not there to play Big Brother, but to ensure that everything goes smoothly and to avoid the risk of accidents. In the case of big events, we contact the police and the fire brigade right from the start, to ensure that we are prepared for all eventualities. We take care of permit applications for all big events.

Practical help

The Events Office can also arrange the hire of equipment for events and congresses. Our regular suppliers are well acquainted with the requirements on the University of Twente campus. This allows us to relieve you of much of the routine work of arranging an event – always, of course, in close consultation with you and after your approval of the arrangements.

We can also help you to arrange the participation of carpark attendants, stewards, first-aiders and the construction crew who put up any structures needed for your events and dismantle them after use. The involvement of the Events Office can cut your costs: we can make the necessary arrangements quickly, thanks to our years of experience, and our knowledge of market prices means that you will not pay over the odds for the

services you require.

Creative

We have a creative approach to our work at the Events

Office. We get satisfaction from arranging events, in full

consultation with you, to ensure that everything runs

smoothly and that all participants have a good time.

And we are very approachable. The door of our office,

situated in the Vrijhof building, is always open. If you

have any queries, why don’t you just drop in?
