Workshop kick-off: Women empower women in business informatics (WINit)

Professor Mahsa Fischer opened the workshop by talking about her own experiences as a woman in business informatics. These strengthened her resolve to build such a network: 

"Promoting women in business informatics is not only a question of equality, but also a strategic necessity for the success of our digital future."

Together, the various needs of the female students were collected: technical workshops, career topics and soft skills are also on the young women's wish list. The initiative is supported by Melanie Schiffner, who is in charge of the "stereotype-free choice of studies" department at HHN.

Last InduKo-Workshop

We had the last InduKo project workshop of the year 2023 on Monday. 

It was nice to see how far the sub projects have been developed and how many ideas we could find to integrate the subprojects to increase the value for our target group, the students, researchers and professors of the university.

ICERI 2023

It was a great experience at ICERI 2023 conference on Education, Research and Innovation. We have presented our work in the field of projectbased learning in Computer Science in higher education and had great discussions. 

We also had an engaging information exchange with colleagues of other universities about AI in education and applications of ChatGPT in lectures.

EUCEN Conference 2023 Utrecht

On the subject of "Sustainable Management of Project Work Results in Computer Science" the team, represented by Prof. Dr. Mahsa Fischer, Svenja Rößler and Daniel Szafarski present our latest results at the EUCEN Conference in Utrecht.

It was very exciting for us to learn from the community that many other universities are also dealing with the topic of "reusability" of student results. The concept of "IdeaLize" was received with interest by many participants. We were very happy about this positive feedback and took many thoughts and ideas home with us.

InduKo Workshop

On May 15th, 2023 we had the pleasure of holding our internal project workshop, where we regularly exchanged information about the progress of our sub-projects. 

The aim was to get an overview of the current progress and current challenges and to work out solutions together. It was great to see the team members in person and exchange ideas in an inspiring atmosphere. The direct personal contact made the workshop a special experience and strengthened our cooperation. The workshop gave us the opportunity to learn from and inspire each other.

Opening of Innovation Spaces

#makeithappen - The result is not always the goal, sometimes it is the way to get there.

Initiated by the STARTKLAR start-up center and donated by the Arnfried and Hannelore Meyer Foundation, the Heilbronn University of Applied Sciences now offers 2 new rooms for innovative romp: The Makerspace and the DigiLab.

With a total of 300m² of versatile prototyping world, students now have space for AI, virtual reality, 3D modulation and gaming, among other things.

The newly created platform is intended to encourage students, researchers and cooperation partners in the regional ecosystem to jointly develop projects, start-up projects and formats that bring something new into the world and accelerate the transfer of innovation to the region.

Let's Talk Digital: Human-Computer-Interaction & AI

The interaction of people and machines in our everyday work and life is nothing new. So far it has been the human being who has told the machine what to do and the machine has carried it out. In recent years, however, there has been movement and change in this interplay. The increasing collaboration between humans and machines leads to a changed distribution of tasks with the use of artificial intelligence. Machines take over routine activities, observe and prepare options for action and act with foresight. The aim of human-computer interaction (HCI) is to shape these changes in the interests of humans.
