The Chair for Information Systems and Information Management at the WWU Muenster, directed by Prof. Dr. Joerg Becker, currently comprises 34 postgraduate research assistants and 30 undergraduate research assistants.

Focus areas of research are Process Modeling and Data Modeling. Besides developing and evaluating new modeling methods, the methods are transferred into practice to generate business value for companies and governmental organizations. Focused domains of research comprise Service Science Management and Engineering (SSME), E-Government and Retail/Wholesale. As the chair is embedded into the European Research Center for Information Systems (ERCIS), the research projects incorporate Information Systems, Computer Science, Business Administration, and Legal points of view.

The courses offered as part of the Bachelors and Masters programs on Information Systems comprise Process Modeling (Application Systems, Information Modeling, Workflow Management and Petri Nets) as well as Data Modeling (Data Management, Management Information Systems and Data Warehousing) topics. Early on in their studies students can enroll in additional domain-specific courses such as Elective Modules, Project Thesis, and Seminars. Soft-skills like presentation techniques and rhetoric are also conveyed. All courses consequently focus on integrating with current research and industry projects.
