Equipment rental

The Media Network Center lends audiovisual equipment for teaching and study to students and teachers of the Faculty of Human Sciences. It also supports institutions and university members of the Faculty of Humanities who require equipment for individual projects where it is not economically viable to purchase their own.

Lendable Equipment:

•  Photo/video/audio equipment
•  Adapters and accessories
• Laptops (Windows)

Facilities which regularly use audiovisual media should keep the necessary equipment available themselves. The same applies to larger projects (especially third-party funded projects) which tie up equipment over a longer period of time. For this purpose, separate equipment should be provided.

The Media Network Center endeavours to comply with lending requests. However, we ask for your understanding that due to the limited equipment capacity, equipment and date requests cannot be considered in every case. The limited equipment capacity forces us to rent equipment only for the actual recording time, but not for the entire duration of a project. Loans will be made after reservation and agreement on a date against a signed borrowing slip.

• Loans are made exclusively for business purposes.
