The Campus Update is the newsletter for all university employees. The aim is to bundle internal communication, communicate current topics transparently and strengthen the exchange within the university.

Target group: All university employees

Frequency: The newsletter is usually published every two weeks, on Fridays.

The editorial deadline is the Wednesday afternoon before.
Please send your suggestions for topics to: campus-update[at]uni-kassel[dot]de

Sections of the newsletter:

• University policy today / Messages from the university management
• Service update (e.g. news from Facilities Management, Human Resources and Legal Services, ITS, EPEO and other departments and central facilities that are relevant to all employees. Information on training courses, further education, renovations, road closures or changes to workflows).
• Research for tomorrow (articles on research projects and results by our scientists)
• Transfer for tomorrow (articles on transfer successes of the university and its members)
• Spotlight (introducing new managers, professors and other personalities at the university)
• Campus life
• Dates (important events)
• Debate (long reads on current discourse topics such as AI or budget cuts)

Article length and publication:

Contributions are limited to a maximum of 300 characters (including spaces). A prerequisite for inclusion in the newsletter is that the content has been published in advance on websites, intranet pages or as campus messages so that it can be linked in the newsletter.

Editorial responsibility:

The newsletter is curated by the Communications and Marketing Office (KM). Editorial responsibility lies with the editorial director (Sebastian Mense), strategic responsibility for content lies with the head of the unit (Asmik Kostandian).

We cordially invite you to take advantage of this offer and communicate your topics via the newsletter. If you are planning to send a circular mail to all employees, we would be happy to advise you on whether this can be implemented as part of the central newsletter instead. By bundling important topics in the Campus Update, they will receive more attention and will not get lost in the mass of information.
