Internal communication tools

An organisation the size of Leiden University requires careful internal communication.

Website and newsletters

Our most important internal communication tool is the staff website. For editorial information, please consult the web editorial section.

In addition, every Tuesday all staff members receive a newsletter with news and information.

Narrowcasting

Narrowcasting is one of the university's internal communication tools. The university uses screens in the buildings to disseminate information that specifically applies to students and staff members in that building. This method of communication is called narrowcasting. The university currently uses two types of narrowcasting systems: screens in coffee vending machines and screens at building entrances.

The coffee machine screens are used for dynamic content. These screens disseminate information in a visually attractive way in busy locations and thereby immediately catch the eye. The content is divided into two parts: general information on sustainability, health and safety, and faculty information for the faculty's students and staff members. The screens are managed by the UFB. The decentral communication departments provide content for the faculty part.

If you want to post a message or information on the coffee screens, please contact your faculty's communication department. Make sure that your submitted content has a format of 1920 x 1080 pixels.

The screens at building entrances are mainly used for displaying static information, such as information from the room reservation system, building opening hours and public transport timetables. If you have questions or would like more information about the screens at building entrances, please contact your faculty's communication department.

Internal communication is of great importance. The Faculty Governance and Global Affairs uses the following means of communication within the faculty.

The public website is the most important promotional tool for the faculty.
