Old main menu item "Structure" is replaced
Not only the appearance, but also the structure, layout and content of the new Viadrina website will change with the web relaunch.
In November 2023, the new main menu item „University“ was activated, second only to „Studies“. Further menu items will be „Research“, „Transfer“ and „International“. The new sorting within these five menu items means that some of the main menu items on the old website will become redundant. For example, the university has already removed the old menu item "About us". From February 7, the main menu item „Structure“ will also be switched off.
Under the previous menu item „Structure“ all Viadrina institutions were gathered together. These can now be found on the new website under the menu item „Universität“. Here you can navigate to the websites of the committees (Foundation Board, Presidential College, Senate, representatives, staff representatives) and the facilities (faculties, Collegium Polonicum, central academic facilities, service facilities, staff units, administration).
In the CMS, the folder „Structure“ will remain for the time being – and with it the web pages in the old design. These will gradually disappear as the content is migrated to the new website structure.
As before, you can find offers for employees and the administration manual with links to forms and more via the link „For employees“ in the header of the website. This page is also currently being revised and will be launched this year with a new design and a new, user-friendly optimized concept as a central internal website area for employees. In addition to internal information and dates for employees as well as quick links to the most important portals, all internal offers for employees will be bundled here in a service catalog and made easily accessible in the future.This is an additional test for the translation functionality.
