We not only provide free equipment – we’re also happy to advise you on the best use of media technology and offer guidance on how to operate each device.

A quick note:

Our equipment lending service is exclusively available for teaching and research purposes. Use of the service to bridge long-term equipment shortages within university departments is not intended. As the number of available devices is limited, lending is on a first-come, first-served basis. Please plan your equipment needs ahead of time to ensure smooth operation and availability.
