New team members regularly start at our department – whether as resarch assistants, postdocs, or professors. Over the past few months, we’ve welcomed several new faces:

On Wednesday, July 2, 2025, it was that time of year again: The annual summer party of the Information Systems department invited students, faculty, and staff to the Leonardo Campus. Starting at 4 p.m., the square was transformed into a lively festival area—characterized by a boisterous atmosphere, summer flair, and a varied program.

From July 5 to 11, the science festival “SchlauRaum” is taking place, transforming the city of Münster into a vibrant campus. Under the theme “Why? How? Healthy?”, the festival focuses on the theme of health – organized by the University of Münster, FH Münster, Münster University Hospital (UKM) and Münster Marketing.

As part of the graduation ceremony on June 27, 2025, not only were numerous graduates of the 2024/25 winter semester bid farewell, but outstanding achievements from students of the School of Business and Economics were also honored.

Prof. Jörg Becker was invited as opponent for the doctoral defense of Tapio Versäläinen at the University of Turku, Finland. Versäläinen's dissertation is titled “Forecasting Future Events with Publicly Accessible Online Data – A Study on Finnish Parliamentary Elections from 2015 to 2023” and was supervised by Prof. Reima Suomi.

Last week, students from the J. Whitney Bunting College of Business & Technology (Georgia College & State University) visited the Department of Information Systems at the University of Münster to take part in the second part of the international Design Thinking seminar.
