Professor A. (Tom) Veldkamp will remain rector magnificus of the University of Twente for the next four years. The Supervisory Board has decided on his reappointment, which takes effect on 1 October 2024. Veldkamp has been part of the UT's Executive Board since 2020, which further consists of Vinod Subramaniam (chair) and Machteld Roos (vice chair).
The University of Twente is developing a plan together with institutions in scientific and vocational education in the Groningen, Delft, Eindhoven and Twente regions to educate more technical talent. This is needed to strengthen and preserve the Netherlands' chip sector. The cabinet presented plans to this end last week. The so-called 'Beethoven' project includes a substantial investment in engineering education.
The University of Twente and the Dutch Ministry of Infrastructure and Water Management (IenW) have set out their joint ambitions in a collaboration agreement. The agreement was signed earlier this week. In the coming period, they intend to cooperate more frequently on various initiatives in the field of scientific research and education, within the domains in which the ministry operates. UT and the ministry endorse the importance of multidisciplinary cooperation and broad knowledge orientation to tackle complex societal issues.

The BioImaging Centre (BIC), the core facility for microscopy of the University of Twente’s Technical Medical Centre, opens its doors on 30 March 2023. The facility is equipped with the latest microscopy systems and is available to researchers at the University of Twente and to the business community.
On Tuesday 5 July, the Presidents of both universities signed the strategic partnership agreement. The Canadian University and the University of Twente have been partners for some time but by signing the agreement, further arrangements were made. Together, the two parties aim for more intensive collaboration in several fields of research and education.
Today it is exactly sixty years ago that the Dutch parliament, on the proposal of Education Minister Cals, agreed to the establishment of a Technical University in Enschede. That moment is regarded as the founding date of the University of Twente. The Technical Hogeschool Twente, as it was then called, was the third technical university in the Netherlands.
Message from the Executive Board:
"Today, we celebrate the sixtieth anniversary of the University of Twente. A fantastic milestone and a good time to look back as well as forward.

It is often referred to as the "Parkinson protein", as deposition of this protein in brain cells is a hallmark of Parkinson's disease. Despite the high interest of biomedical research in the protein, many questions concerning the function and physiology of α-synuclein in living cells still remain to be answered. For example, it was previously unclear whether and to what extent the protein binds to and interacts with internal cell components such as membranes. As such processes could play a role in the development of the disease, the team led by Konstanz-based physical chemist Professor Malte Drescher used the further development of an established measurement method called "electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy" (EPR spectroscopy) to learn more about the binding properties of the "Parkinson protein". The study, published in the scientific periodical "The Journal of Physical Chemistry Letters", furnishes proof of concept that the advanced method is fundamentally suitable for elucidating protein-lipid interactions in cells. Furthermore, this first practical test yielded direct evidence of the binding of α-synuclein to intracellular membranes.
