During the Saarbrücken Research Days on Computer Science, young computer science talents from all over Germany have the opportunity to take a first look at computer science studies and to get to the bottom of current research questions together with students and scientists from Saarland University and the computer science institutes located at the university. Due to the corona pandemic, the „Saarbrücker Forschungstage” were moved to the virtual world this year.
At the virtual open day, Saarland University presents its range of academic programmes and numerous research topics. This year, however, the event will take place online instead of on the university campus – courses will be presented in video presentations and prospective students can talk with professors via live-chat and ask everything they want to know about the study-programme of their choice. The Central Student Advisory Service and many other university departments offer personal advice [...]
Professor Christian Theobalt, group leader at the Max Planck Institute for Computer Science in Saarbrücken, is this year’s winner of the Outstanding Technical Contribution Award, the European Association for Computer Graphics’ highest distinction for scientific findings. At the annual Eurographics conference, the prize is awarded for groundbreaking achievements in the field of computer graphics. Theobalt, a researcher at the Max Planck Institute for Computer Science, receives it “for [...]
Parents are currently under strong pressure to fulfill their professional obligations in the home office and at the same time to care of their children. The project “Playcare” wants to help out with special learning boxes, which contents parents can select and order online according to their child’s wishes. With this idea, a German-Swiss team has won the competition of the IT Inkubator GmbH, which is funded with 10,000 euros. The first boxes are planned to be available for order on the Internet as early as the summer.
Until now, it was only possible to study computer science for a teaching profession together with mathematics. Now it is possible at Saarland University to combine all school subjects with computer science. With the reform of the academic program, completely new teaching contexts for computer science topics will be opened up. This is intended to meet the demands that students are confronted with in a society increasingly shaped by technology and computer science. No previous knowledge of computer science is required to enroll.
