On March 31, 2025, members of the Department Board Meeting gathered for a strategy day at the REACH EUREGIO Start-up Center to shape the future of the department.

The day began with a vision workshop, using the innovative “Lego Serious Play” method. This hands-on approach encouraged creative and collaborative thinking and led to several inspiring models that reflected visions for the future of the department.

In addition, there were stimulating discussions on topics such as teaching, research, and knowledge transfer. Together, participants explored new approaches to strengthen the department’s impact and further development in the field of Information Systems.

A big thank you to everyone who contributed their ideas, creativity, and commitment!

The first (virtual) Town Hall Meeting took place on 28 March 2025 to provide information on organizational and administrative topics and changes, as well as new projects and similar topics at the department. The aim is to improve the flow of information at the department.

The agenda included new staff members, among them a new acting professorship with Dr. Johannes Sedlmeir and numerous new doctoral students from the various chairs. Other topics included teaching, news from the ERCIS, and internal processes.

The meeting also offers employees the opportunity to discuss questions and specific concerns. In future, the Town Hall Meeting will take place once a semester.
