Like father, like son(s)

Before moving to the US for thirty years, Ed Jonker studied Applied Mathematics at the UT. Now the alumnus is back in Enschede and, while still telecommuting to his job near New York, he is considering to return to his alma mater – as a student. If that happens, he would be a classmate of his two sons, who have both chosen to study at the University of Twente.

Buitenlandse studenten vooral een verdienmodel

Universiteiten wringen zich in allerlei bochten om zoveel mogelijk internationale studenten binnen te halen. De Rijksuniversiteit Groningen heeft zelfs ‘cashcow-studies’ voor ze bedacht. Maar de komst van de studenten leidt tot problemen, van overvolle collegezalen tot studenten in tentenkampen.

‘The more chip designers, the better the world’

Integrated Circuit Design (ICD). The term might sound foreign to you, but you encounter it nearly every minute of every day. It’s everywhere. ‘It’s so small that people don’t notice it, but without it the world would be a total mess. Society without it is like stone age. We are the secret agents that make progress possible.’

First breakthrough in flu virus research

Influenza virus remains a major threat, causing millions of infections and deaths every year. Largely because it mutates – a lot. Within a project worth one million euros, UT professor Jurriaan Huskens is aiming to answer why these mutations happen and what effects they have on the infectivity. His first paper on the topic was just accepted for publication in ACS Nano.

Internationalisation: Diversity is growth

Internationalization is one of the focus points of the Vision 2020 of the University. As a result, we have seen a strong increment of international staff and students. This change poses some challenges but also brings opportunities. A lot of things have been said regarding the challenges a more diverse campus brings us. We feel the community could focus on ways to smoothen out the bumps in the road, and should embrace diversity on campus.

Student 2.0

Het commentaar van U-Today. Sinds de democratisering van de universiteit in de jaren '60 vorige eeuw is studeren voor alle lagen van de bevolking toegankelijk. Maar de 'student 2.0' wil meer privé en vindt een toilet delen vies, denken beleidsmakers. Een segregatie van rijken en modalen ligt op de loer.

Blog: The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Union

The Union is big. Really big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind-bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist, but that's just peanuts to the Union.
