Opening Academic Year (OAY) on UTour

Extraordinary times call for creative solutions.

For the University of Twente, the Opening of the Academic Year is traditionally a valuable way to meet, reconnect and catch up. We honour this tradition and have decided to apply the motto 'on campus if possible, online if necessary' to our OAY 2020-2021 as well. 

Since March, the UT community has become even more conscious of what really matters: the connections we share with each other. We crave spontaneous interaction, meeting new people, sharing a laugh at the coffee machine, and talking passionately about the work we are doing. Togetherness is a vital element in developing talent and delivering knowledge to tackle the challenges of today and tomorrow.

The UT proudly presents the OAY on UTour, a unique digital tour of our campus. Our tour guide will be Lieven Scheire – half scientist, half comedian. Together with three UT students as his co-hosts, he will be meeting with staff and students and sharing a wealth of inspiring stories. And of course they will not be skipping OAY’s traditional items such as awards and music.

We cannot wait to celebrate the Opening of the Academic Year 2020-2021 with you.
