The Week @UCL is compiled and managed by the Internal Communications team. We welcome story ideas from across the university. Given the volume of activity and achievement by UCL staff and students, this brief policy outlines how we select material for The Week @UCL.
Criteria for inclusion
The Week @UCL is the main way in which we communicate must-know information to the UCL staff body. By providing functional information, which is in the legitimate interests of all staff, UCL is processing staff data fairly.

- be checked and approved with relevant colleagues
- be written in plain English (see guidance in the UCL house style on the )
- ideally include images which enhance the story
- include relevant contextual links.
For an event to be included in The Week @UCL it needs to:
- have a confirmed date and time, venue, title, synopsis (guideline 250 words), speaker (if appropriate) and booking contact details
- be an event that is organised by a UCL department and takes place on the UCL campus
