The University of Twente is delighted to welcome you to the let's go! STAFF DAYS
Our four day programme for international staff provides opportunities for us to get acquainted, explore our relationship as partner institutions, and share ideas about student exchange and international education. We’ll show you the University of Twente, inform you about new developments and offer a tour of our unique campus, showcasing UT's academic and social environment. You will have the opportunity to showcase exchange options at your university to UT students at our study abroad fair. We look forward to welcoming you here as our guest.

Our Staff Days include presentations by UT staff and students, interactive workshops, academic and campus tours, lunches and networking opportunities. During the presentations and tours, we provide information about our institution, exchange opportunities, housing and campus facilities. In the workshops, you can join discussions about new developments and issues in the field of student mobility and internationalisation. Throughout the programme we provide ample opportunities for networking and exploring our relationship as partner universities.
The fair day is the perfect opportunity to promote exchange options at your university to UT students, and for our students to find out more about life in your country and studying at your institution. Held on the UT campus, the fair is arranged like a marketplace with a stand for each university. Throughout the fair, you’ll have the opportunity to speak with students, answer their questions and provide your promotional materials.
During the Staff Days we arrange meetings between our partners and UT employees. This is a great opportunity to get to know each other and discuss shared concerns or future projects. If you would like to join the meetings, you can indicate who you would like to meet with when you complete the registration form. We will create a meeting schedule and distribute it prior to the event. If you have any questions or requests regarding the meetings, please contact us at Let's GO!.
