At the University of Lodz, we invest in IT systems and tools that allow us to work, conduct classes, examine and deal with administrative issues efficiently while maintaining digital security standards.
Employees of the University of Lodz use the digital university account (Active Directory), which is generated automatically at the time of getting employed and gives access to all the necessary IT systems and tools.Thanks to it, they log into their e-mail, gain access to the Office 365 suite, Employee Service, USOSweb system, computer and WI-FI network in the university buildings.
Below you can find a list of basic IT systems and tools used at the University of Lodz.
