Viva Engage chat platform
An internal discussion platform for the university, where you can announce an event or exhibition and have a discussion on any topic. On the discussion platform, you can reach all students and employees.
Using the discussion platform
On the discussion platform, you will find topic-specific channels where you can, for example, share event advertisements, engage in social discussion or publish a rental advertisement.
