Booking at SIL-EE

Bookings for laboratory equipment usage are made through the Booked system.
The SIL-EE uses this to ensure

• no two users are scheduled on the same machine at the same time
• a lab assistant is available to open the lab and give you the equipment key at your booked time

• You are not allowed to book a machine for other people.
• If you are a Bachelor/Master's student, your access will be given only for the module period. Exceptions are possible for students working on their Master thesis.
• Access to the booking scheduler for each piece of equipment will be given after you have been given the respective equipment introduction.
• A Safety Form signed by the user (and supervisor in case of students) is required to grant access (for all stations). The signed Safety Form has to be handed to the Lab Assistants or Administration through the form or by mail before the user can access the lab.
• Before being able to book, it is strongly advised to have an introductory meeting by emailing sil-ee@utwente.nl to set an appointment.
• Bookings do not need to be made far in advance; you can request a slot at short notice. However, all bookings must be confirmed by a lab assistant before you can use the equipment, so plan for a possible wait.

For long-term booking of equipment (e.g. using a specific device every Monday for a set amount of time) you can mail sil-ee@utwente.nl 

It is a good idea to gain access to SESAM, UT's internal room access service so you can get into the laboratory yourself. Read through the page before requesting access.

• All equipment requires booking through the aforementioned system. In regards to only using soldering equipment, mention this in your request through SESAM.
