New to SIC? 🤔 For a good start, the Computer Science Students' Representative Council has put together a welcome program.
All new first-year students, whether for a bachelor's, master's, or internationally oriented computer science program, are invited to participate in the student introductory phase (StEP). There you will have the opportunity, among other things, to learn everything about your new university, its structure, the support facilities and offers, how to get around in Saarbrücken and - if you have just arrived from abroad - some tips for a quick start in Germany.

Congratulations!

Does working at the university only mean giving lectures? Not quite. As a professor or member of a research group, it also involves publishing scientific papers and conducting research. Recently Universität des Saarlandes - Saarland University Professor Jörg Hoffmann has achieved quite something with his research group "Foundations of Artificial Intelligence" at the "International Conference on Automated Planning and Scheduling (ICAPS)", a leading international conference in a subfield of AI research.

As Jörg Hoffmann explains: "My research group achieved a spectacular success: Of the 85 accepted papers, 11 have a co-authorship from my research group. This is a new record - in the more than 30-year history of the conference series, no research group has ever had more than 6 papers accepted at an edition of ICAPS." That is a total of 13% congratulations! In addition, Daniel Gnad wins the conference's dissertation award for his PhD thesis he conducted in the FAI Group.
