University of Twente is a place where everyone should feel welcome to work, study and live. We want everyone to be able to be themselves, to feel valued, and to have the opportunity to contribute in a meaningful way. This is only possible if we actively commit to our inclusive mindset, every single day.

Together, we are building an open culture of respect, equity and equal opportunities. To us, inclusion means participating and having a say. That matters to everyone.

Our DE&I Officer Sterre Mkatini works in collaboration with other experts and people with lived experience to embed diversity, equity and inclusion more deeply and effectively into everything we do. Curious about UT's approach? Take a look at our previous action plans and get inspired. You’ll also soon find our new development framework for the coming years right here.

Role of UT's Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DE&I) officer

The role of the Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DE&I) Officer, the team of experts and people with lived experience, as well as all involved individuals, teams and networks, is to support, drive, inspire, share knowledge, motivate and advise. UT's DE&I Officer Sterre Mkatini is your first point of contact.

So, do you have a great idea, a question, or are you struggling to effectively bring together different perspectives, experiences or ideas? Perhaps you simply want to learn more about how we can treat each other fairly and work together to shape a strategic direction. The DE&I Officer is here to help. You can give her a call or send an email. You can also take a look at our organisational website on DE&I.
