At #WiSo.Zusammenhalt.Unternehmen, you will be working with a partner from civil society, the municipality, or local small and medium sized firms. Simultaneously, you will enhance your professional competence. For example, you could volunteer at Tafel Deutschland e.V. and explore their management structures at the same time.
Unfortunately, we are not able to make a statement how the current situation will affect the exams of your courses at the end of the summer term at this point in time. Kindly note that the module handbook, which will be published on 18.05.2020, will contain information on the nature of changes regarding your examinations.
The first day of the summer term already lies behind us. Hopefully, you have all started off well, you have visited your first lectures and tried some of the digital tools. Maybe there have been some minor problems, such as gaining access to StudOn. However, FAU has already taken measures to reduce these difficulties, such as enhancing server capacities.
This semester is unprecedented in over 100 years of our faculty’s history. We want to enable you to successfully complete your semester despite flattening-the-curve. This is why we have analyzed all scheduled modules regarding the possibility to transfer them into a digital environment – and a very large share will be offered virtually.
The lecture period has begun and the WiSo welcomes its students in the new, this time digital semester #WiSoVirtuell. To welcome you visually, you can find a video message by the speaker and dean of WiSo Nürnberg in German and by the dean for international affairs in English. We wish everyone a good start into the virtual semester 2020!
The virtual summer semester 2020 is approaching with great strides. In each of the bachelor and master courses, the intended number of ECTS points can be earned. For every WiSo course scheduled for the summer semester, a course on StudOn can be found. If you haven’t already joined the StudOn courses, which are relevant for you, please do so urgently.
The new coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) and the infection it causes (coronavirus induced disease, COVID 19) are continuing to spread. In response to the changing situation, FAU has updated its regulations concerning business travel to high-risk areas, the procedure for people returning from high-risk areas, and holding lectures, seminars and other events.
The FAU Wunschkonzert where staff and students decide who gets to play will return to the stage in spring 2020, on Friday 24 April 2020 at E-Werk in Erlangen. Two student bands, two headline acts and a party to remember – exclusively for students and staff at FAU. Videos of the bands are available online on the Wunschkonzert website.
At the beginning of the year, the Association for Information Systems (AIS) published its new research ranking of international business information systems. Prof. Dr. Sven Laumer, holder of the Schöller Endowed Chair for Information Systems, is ranked 39th in this ranking for publications in the AIS Senior Basket of Eight in the last five years.
FAU publishes three magazines – ‘friedrich’ is the magazine all about research, ‘alexander’ is the University magazine and ‘frisch!’ is aimed at new students. Copies of each magazine are available at various locations around the University. Or you can even request ‘friedrich’ or ‘alexander’ to be delivered to your home address or to your workplace.
