On this page you can find everything you need to communicate effectively within UT, enhance your communication skills, as well as support during times of change and crisis.
Communication channels
In addition to work meetings, the newspage on the Service Portal is the main digital channel if you need to communicate with students and employees and to keep yourself informed about UT actualities. To submit news/events for the Service Portal (for employees) or Student Services site use the news/event submission form (also available as a Dutch form).
On campus
Screens in buildings (narrowcasting)
A number of buildings at UT have screens on which information (news, announcements, events etc.) can be projected for residents and guests of the building concerned. Management of these screens is not centralised, but the responsibility of the organisational unit within that building or location.
You can ask a communication advisor of MC for advice on whether the screen is suitable for your message. The delivery of powerpoint slides is centralised through a web form for all buildings.
The screens in the buildings are one of the means of communication that can be used to communicate with employees and guests to the buildings. In the category Submit news and events you will find the possibilities per target group.
Coffee machine screens
These screens are, compared to the narrowcasting screens in the buildings, for internal UT-wide content only. See the detailed page about hot vending machine.
Posters in UT buildings
Marketing & Communication can support you with various options when you want to announce an event or message on campus. One of these options is having posters printed. For example: research posters, promotional posters or informational posters. The MC Traffic department can advise you on the layout and has the equipment to print these for you.
PLEASE NOTE! The posters may only be posted in the places intended for this purpose. Contact the Service Desk of the respective building to hang up your posters.

Pasting posters on campus
We would like to keep our beautiful UT campus tidy and prevent every furnishing on the grounds, from lantern posts to rubbish bins, being covered with posters and stickers.
We therefore have an active policy in place in respect of unauthorised flyposting.

The Spiegel outdoor banner is primarily intended for corporate and marketing messages at UT level. Examples of messages: Open Days, the Open House and the U-meet.

Physical promotional activities
If you would like to do a promotional activity on campus, for instance at the O&O square, please send your request to the Events Office (events@utwente.nl). More information about how to request a promotional activity can be found under the heading Promotional activities.
LED screens (outdoor)
At the moment we have one LED screen on campus available to promote events at the Boulevard at the Vrijhof building. This screen is managed by the Student Union. For requests see the Student Union website.
Online
UT-wide mass mail
As an addition to our employee news on the Service Portal it is possible, in specific cases, to reach all students and/or staff at once via a UT-wide mass email. To ensure that we don't use it too often and we keep using the employee news on the Service Portal for general nice to know information Guidelines and sending criteria were drawn up for this purpose.
Sending messages through a UT-wide mass email will only be done if it concerns:
- Crisis and/or risk communication (disasters, safety risks and health risks)
- Managerial information
- Invitations to corporate UT events where the entire UT populace is invited.
- Human Resources information important to all UT staff.
- Announcements of (changed) regulations important to the entire UT populace.
For instance, FB/Procurement - NS Business Card, travel costs reimbursement). - Digital questionnaire of research intended to improve the quality of service and/or working conditions at the UT (for instance Staff Research UT, FB).
See: Mass mail request form.
Social media
There is a separate social media section available with information about UT's social media usage: utwente.nl/socialmedia.
MyUT app
The MyUT app is made for students and contains:
- study information (timetable)
- campus location information
- checklist for new students
- campus events
How to:
- Submit events: register your event via this web form.
UT style and language
To ensure an open, inclusive and consistent British English tone, UT follows a number of guidelines and principles that result from UT's language policy.
