Do you have a problem or a complaint?
|
Are you experiencing a problem regarding a situation within your programme or the UU? If so, discuss this in the first instance with the relevant person the problem concerns. You can also turn to your Study Advisor. Are you unable to solve the problem and want to file a complaint? Then contact the independent Science Complaints Coordinator, Cristel Teusink via C.A.Teusink@uu.nl, who will handle your complaint and can give you advice on your situation. Additionally, Cristel can launch an investigation into the course of events and if necessary, initiate a mediation.
Are you still not satisfied with the outcome or how the outcome came about after your complaint? Then you can contact Roel Notten, UU's Student Ombuds Officer. Just like the Complaints Coordinator, he can give you advice, mediate and investigate. The Complaints Coordinator and the Ombuds Officer Students both work independently. All conversations are confidential.

Smart farming: AI predicts potato growth potential |
| A cutting-edge AI tool can now predict how well seed potatoes will grow into healthy potato plants. Developed by biologists from Utrecht University in collaboration with the Delft University of Technology and plant breeders, the tool uses DNA data from bacteria and fungi found on seed potatoes and drone images of potato fields. “This marks the beginning of a new era in farming, where microbiology and AI come together to enhance agriculture.” |
