Team communication
At Charles University, team communication supports cooperation between staff, teachers and students – from document sharing and task planning to online meetings and information transfer within faculties, departments, work teams or the university alliance 4EU+.
The basis of this collaboration is the Microsoft 365 environment, especially Teams, SharePoint and the university Intranet, which work closely together.

What is team communication for?
-
MS Teams - used for daily communication - online meetings, video calls and chats, document sharing and teamwork - all in one place.
-
SharePoint - a tool for managing and sharing documents, intranet pages and team spaces.
-
Intranet of Charles University - a place where you can find internal information, documents, instructions and access to Charles University services.
MS Teams
At Charles University, you can be enrolled in two MS Teams environments (university-wide and faculty-wide) depending on the license used. Therefore, please always pay attention to the environment in which the lessons take place. Teachers can use both environments for their lessons.
SharePoint
SharePoint is a platform from Microsoft that allows organizations to create intranet sites. It is used for storing and sharing documents, creating and managing a site for teams and access to internal materials of the faculty.
Content on SharePoint is not public – only users who have been invited to the team or space have access to it. If you don't see any content, you probably don't have access to it yet.
Intranet of Charles University
Intranet of CU is a central place for sharing important information across faculties, the Rector's Office and other parts of the University. Instead of searching in several different systems, you will find everything clearly in one place.
One of the main objectives of the Intranet is primarily the protection of information against misuse from outside and related protection of the employees.
How to log in
You login to Intranetu of CU via your CAS account — i.e. using your username (personal number) and password.
Who has access?
The Intranet is primarily intended for employees, but students with a work or internal status can access it according to their assigned permissions.
What can you find on Intranet?
-
News and events from university life (training, interesting events, important announcements).
-
Internal documents and forms (directives, templates, procedures).
-
Well-arranged tools and links - direct access to the necessary applications and systems.
-
Practical calendar of university trainings, meetings and events.
-
Search "What interests you" - here you quickly search for content by topic, not by department.
