Digital Talk: Talk to us!
February 1st, 2022 | 14:30-16:30

You will learn more about the “Handlungsfeld (HF) Forschung and Digitale Lehre”. In HF Forschung, the TU Graz Repository is at the center of attention, how research data is made accessible according to the "FAIR principles", HF Digitale Lehre invites you to a joint exchange on the two topics "One year iMooX" - about the development of the Austria-wide MOOC platforms and how these can be used for teachers and students at TU Graz and the new master's course "Computational Social Systems", where experts learn to derive valuable knowledge from acquired data and how to handle it responsibly. Take the opportunity and "Talk to us": Register via Mail or here (only employees).

Software Carpentries @ TU Graz
Feburary 16th - 17th, 2022

TU Graz (RDM Team) is hosting a Software Carpentry workshop for researches and research support staff.
The Carpentries is a fiscally sponsored project of Community Initiatives. They teach skills that are immediately useful for researchers, using lessons and datasets that allow researchers to quickly apply what they have learned to their own work. I am really excited about using the Software Carpentry curriculum here to help our graduate students, researchers and support staff become more efficient in their research.

FWF approved: "SPyCoDe"

The special research area "SPyCoDe" aims to create tools for companies to build complex systems that are secure by design and protect privacy due to their components. This research is a cross-cutting computer science topic that combines breakthrough findings in logic, system security, and cryptography. In the "SPyCoDe"-team are also names from our department: Roderick Bloem, Maria Eichlseder, Daniel Gruss, Stefan Mangard.

 


Special "selected topic" for master study programs in the next semester

In the coming summer semester, a prominent guest, Prof. Friedemann Mattern from ETH Zurich, will visit us and also hold a lecture on the history, causes and effects of digitalization. "The dawn of the digital age" is a voyage to the past where the history of computing and communication technologies will be discussed.
