- people.utwente.nl: (public) employee profile pagesPeople Pages (people.utwente.nl) is the UT phone directory and employee pages. Some information is displayed automatically (contact information, publications, Osiris-courses, expertises, etc.) Other information like projects, biography, social media and more can be added by the user. Why you should use people.utwente.nl The UT considers it important that its employees are easily findable online, for fellow researchers, for the press, but also for a general public. Anyone can build websites, but getting high ranked in Google according to the guidelines that apply to all the different browsers and search engines is a profession in its own right and a daily task of the online experts of Marketing & Communication.
