Reservation
VU faculties and service departments can reserve rooms on the service portal.
External parties and students should use the application form ‘Reserve a Conference Room’ or contact the FCO Servicedesk. Charges apply for the use of the rooms. The costs will be billed afterwards on the basis of the hours reserved. The rooms can also be rented to external parties or used for meetings or special events outside of office hours (Monday to Friday 17:00–22:00).
The rooms have a fixed setup and have an LCD monitor. No computer is present, so you can use the monitor by connecting it to your laptop. Refreshments can be arranged by our catering.
Educational rooms
Rooms are primarily intended for regular classes. Reservations on behalf of regular classes have priority and are realized by centralized scheduling. After all the regular classes have been scheduled, supplemental renting may take place and class rooms may be reserved for incidental meetings. Charges apply to any such use. Regulations and the possibilities for reserving and using class rooms can be found in the document rules for reserving class rooms.
Applying and reserving
VU faculties should submit applications to their own reservation authority if the activity is not connected to regular subjects and classes. VU service departments, study associations, and external applications should reserve class rooms using the application form class room
