Connect and Communicate
We provide smart IT solutions that make collaboration at Utrecht University easy.
People increasingly need to stay connected, and at Utrecht University, we support that need with modern, secure, and accessible IT services for communication and collaboration.
Our foundation lies in reliable services such as telephony, workstations, email, and hardware. We offer a wide range of suitable equipment and keep applications up to date, enabling staff and students to work optimally—anytime and anywhere.
In addition, we continuously invest in innovative ways to connect and share knowledge with colleagues, partners, and external contacts. Teams is the central platform for chatting, video calls, and collaboration within and beyond the organisation. Our intranet supports internal communication and community building.
In a working environment where “anytime, anywhere” is the standard, the ability to share files securely and easily is essential. With OneDrive and SURFdrive, we offer user-friendly and secure cloud storage for personal files. SharePoint is available for collaboration in teams and projects, and large files can be sent quickly and securely via SURFfilesender.
Our services are both technology- and customer-driven. When staff members have specific needs for applications that aren’t yet generally available, we’re happy to explore the possibilities together. This way, we ensure everyone has the right tools to collaborate and communicate effectively.
