- ParticipationEmployee and student input is essential for the functioning of our university. Whether you work or study here, your input and ideas about UT policy matter and your opinion, approval, or advice are essential. Of course, your input differs from policymakers; precisely because you represent your department, colleagues or faculty, your input is essential. Codetermination is the place where you take responsibility, have influence, discuss policy, meet new people and contribute together to an even better university. UToday Special (April 2024) This is a magazine about participation, full of stories about students and employees who think along and co-decide on the policies of UT. The employee participation bodies form an essential bridge between the boards and society. They play an important role in good times and, perhaps more importantly, in difficult times. https://specials.utoday.nl/4628674/ Why is your voice important?

- Vision on Learning and TeachingHow can education at UT empower students to contribute to a better world? And how can UT’s commitment to making a positive impact on society through technology, strengthen that contribution? The ‘UT Vision on Learning and Teaching’ offers guidance, outlining how we can equip students with ‘more than a degree.’ Taking the challenges of our time as starting point, it places three goals at the heart of our education: learning by doing, building inclusive communities and self-development. Interconnected like the rings of a Borromean knot, these three goals form a roadmap to achieve our UT mission: to be a people-centred university of technology that empowers society through sustainable solutions. The UT Vision on Learning and Teaching provides a basis for strategy, investments, and the implementation of educational activities.
