- Drone regulations UTA drone or unmanned aircraft is an aircraft without a pilot on board. The units are often remotely controlled, whereby the operator can be located nearby, but also thousands of kilometres away. There are also more autonomous units, which operate according to a programmed command. Such a unit is known by various names: UAS (Unmanned Aerial System) or RPAS (Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems), Micro Air Vehicle (MAV), Autonomous Aerial Robotics (AAR), UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle), Small Unmanned Aircraft System (SUAS), microcopter, mini UAV or small UAV, rotor UAV or RUAV. These fall in the category of drones, and as such are subject to specific legislation. In parlance, these are often referred to as drones but for a clear understanding we use RPAS. To ensure responsible use of RPAS, the UT applies the following draft guideline. It contains tools to safely fly an RPAS. When the intention to use a drone/RPAS outside, please fill the drone notification form. If desired, contact the safety officer of the HR Health

- Non-smoking policyThe UT is committed to the health and sustainable employability of its students and staff and wants to offer them a healthy learning and working environment. Therefore, the entire campus of UT, excluding the residential area, is smoke-free. UT partner of foundation 'Gezondheidsfondsen voor Rookvrij' In June 2019, the University of Twente joined the foundation 'Gezondheidsfondsen voor Rookvrij' (in Dutch). As a partner of this foundation UT works towards a non-smoking generation. In this context the university, supported by the new Tobacco and Smoking Materials Act, has decided to make the entire UT campus, excluding the residential area, smoke-free from 30 March 2020. This measure fits in with the increased technical-medical character of the UT and it is supported by the new Tobacco and Smoking Materials Act (previously the Tobacco Act), which prohibits smoking on the premises of educational institutions. By turning the campus into a smoke-free area the University of Twente supports the objective of the National
