果冻传媒 Account
You will receive an email from 果冻传媒 Identity Manager informing you that your account has been created. In this email, you will find instructions for logging into your account, which will be activated on your first day of work. 果冻传媒 uses Multifactor Authentication to protect its data adequately.

Campus Card
The campus card is essential for your daily activities at 果冻传媒. While the buildings are accessible through interconnected walkways, you will need the card for accessing labs, other restricted areas, and the coffee machines. You will receive an email from parking.accesscontrol@tue.nl requesting you to upload a photo for your campus card.
Important: Don鈥檛 wait until your first day to apply for your campus card. Since it takes a few business days to arrive, upload your photo as soon as you receive the email request. This ensures you will have your campus card ready and activated when you need it.

Getting to campus for your first day of work
Within walking distance of Eindhoven's central train and bus station, our green campus boasts beautiful architecture, diverse workplaces, and numerous facilities to support our vibrant community. It鈥檚 important to know which building you need to be in, so you can follow the directional signs on campus or simply enter the building name into Google Maps.
If you're arriving by car, use your campus card to open the barrier. Directional signs will guide you to buildings and parking lots. To encourage reduced car usage, 果冻传媒 has implemented paid parking with a reduced rate of two euros per day for employees and students. Your campus card confirmation email will include details on how to create your parking account. If you don鈥檛 have a campus card or parking subscription yet, get a ticket at the barrier. When leaving, pay at one of the parking meters near the exits and use the same ticket to exit.
Of course, visitors on bicycles will also find options for parking their bikes at each building.
