The University of Twente (Universiteit Twente, UT), founded in 1961 in Enschede, Netherlands, is a public technical research university and ranks #233 in the QS World University Rankings 2025. Its publicly confirmable developer/API footprint is modest. The university runs a Pure-based research information system, UT Research Information (research.utwente.nl), which is documented as exposing an OAI-PMH metadata harvesting endpoint, though that endpoint is not openly reachable from the public web front-end at time of review. Source code from the university and its research groups is published across several GitHub organizations. The University of Twente is also a co-founding member of the 4TU.ResearchData repository (data.4tu.nl), which is hosted and governed by TU Delft rather than operated by UT itself.
