The communicationprofessionals work in a team for the Faculty of Science
There are three faculty communication teams:
- SBE-FSS-Law
- Faculty of Science
- FGW-FRT-FGB
Team
The Faculty of Science's communication team consists of a head of communication, communication advisers, communication employees and web editors. They are close to the teaching and research of the faculty and work together with the communication departments of other faculties and the VU-wide Communication & Marketing department.
The team is responsible for the implementation of the C&M work agenda that is in line with the faculty annual plan. In addition, the team carries out all (within the frameworks appropriate) additional communication projects for faculties and departments.
