Crowdtech is the survey tool available to all UT staff and students

Introduction

Starting September 1, 2025, the University of Twente will use the Crowdtech platform to conduct all UT-wide surveys. Crowdtech will replace the various tools currently in circulation and provide a central, secure and user-friendly way of conducting surveys. Subject evaluations (SEQs) can also be administered in this platform.

This page provides an overview of planning, support and frequently asked questions.

Do you have any questions about how Crowdtech works? Check out their Guide: guide.crowdtech.com.

Why are we switching to Crowdtech?

  • One central solution for the entire UT: course evaluations, scientific questionnaires and staff surveys
  • Available for students within their education, and also for student associaton surveys 
  • Improved data security and privacy compliance
  • Additional advantage: Crowdtech is a Dutch supplier with data storage in the Netherlands

    Please contact survey-support@utwente.nl so you can start getting all the benefits of the new UT-wide tool Crowdtech as well.

  • Are you working on longitudinal research?

    Are you working on a long-term research project? Then it is important to know if - and how - your project can be transferred to Crowdtech.

    We will host a live demonstration on June 3. Additional training sessions will follow later this year.
