MyPlace
In the summer of 2020, an upgraded system for work from home was launched for administrative staff and students.
The system simulates a virtual machine with a work environment suitable for the staff (administrative software) or students (with the same applications installed on public computers).
The system replaces the Corona system established in March 2020 for staff and the MyDesktop system used by students.It allows for access of personal network drives, shared drives and software required for administrative staff and students.
Alternatively, administrative staff can access each service individually. For more information click here.
