The start of the Super Computer "Marvin" on October 20, 2023 signifies a milestone for research at the University of Bonn. Through the new Super Computer, the University of Bonn supports a range of research areas with new and powerful computing capacity. Henceforth, "Marvin" is an important part of the excellent research and digitalisation strategy at the University of Bonn. But which story lays behind the name Marvin? Dr Dirk Babi, HPC team leader at the University IT and Data Center, has the answer to this question in the video on our HRZ YouTube channel.
Even in the current winter semester, the IT Security Awareness Days will take place again, this year for the sixth time, from November 7th to 17th, 2023, which are jointly organized and hosted by several German universities.
It is an online event series with lectures on information security. The lecture topics range from “Security in the Home Office” to “Social Engineering” and are mostly aimed at users without prior knowledge.
The University IT and Data Center was once again present at this year's Welcome Days for winter term 2023/2024. At the HRZ stand, as part of the welcome days events, all first-year students and international students had the opportunity to familiarize themselves with the central IT services and processes at the University of Bonn.
In addition to the welcome events in venue, we gave additional digital live lectures on our IT services via Zoom X. Our experts were available to help and advise the university's first-semester's and international students at the start of the winter term.
Due to unplanned but necessary security upgrades, the eCampus learning platform had to be switched off. Maintenance is expected to be completed in the course of the day on October 26th. We are convinced that we can activate eCampus again as quickly as possible. Thank you for your understanding.
