UT is all about people: people first, as we call it. Everything we do focuses on people, in line with the High Tech Human Touch philosophy of our university.
In the coming period, we will be sharing a story every week. Scientists, support staff, students, and alumni; in this series, they will all tell about what inspires them and how their daily work can be a source of inspiration for others.
Do you have an inspiring story that you would like to share with the community? Or, perhaps even better, are you curious about someone else's story? Let us know via Shaping2030@utwente.nl
