I spent time looking through RWTH Aachen University's corporate design pages. The main portal acts primarily as an institutional gateway, introducing the identity established in November 2013 alongside contact options for their marketing team. What caught my attention is how internal assets are gated: links to materials for institutes, chairs, and administrative units are locked behind internal access. Meanwhile, their dedicated social media section outlines channel governance, official registration forms, direct team contacts, and a downloadable PDF containing social media guidelines.
