Hub

The Hub as a communication and networking platform enables university staff, lecturers and students to engage in discussions about specific topics or projects and stay in contact with each other in communities.

Exchange, share and network

The Hub allows individuals and groups to exchange ideas, share information and connect. Communication takes place in spaces, which can be created for specific projects, topics or groups.

Mastodon

Mastodon offers an alternative to conventional social networks. The unique feature of the platform is the decentralized instances that users can join on their own. The Academic Cloud instance enables entry into the use of Mastodon and opens up a place for academic exchange through short messages and the ability to follow other individuals. Mastodon thus represents a diverse and community-oriented platform.
