Additionally, all administrative and academic departments plan office presence rotation systems and telecommute with appropriate scheduling and equipment in order for office members to be able to work remotely and complete their tasks from home. This standard practice has been reinforced during the Covid-19 pandemic period.

The University offers employees use of two governement-subsidised canteens for lunch meals. Foud private companies have also established on-campus restaurants. Vending machines are also available all over campus and the University is ideally placed for students and staff to benefit from multiple food-delivery opportunities.
Partnership with off-campus organisations
The University also continues to sign partnership agreements to allow its employees to benefit from additional services at discounted prices (kindergartens, sports centres, hospitals, etc.). Finally, as part of its societal impact approach, employees are also offered multiple opportunities to volunteer and partake in charity work in the community. AGU employees are encouraged to get involved in charitable and community activity and can do so via the different AGU partnerships with (inter)national NGOs.
