Onboarding day for new IT administrators Onboarding day for new IT administrators

The IT structures of the University of Bonn are characterised by a decentralised IT. In addition to the central IT service providers HRZ (academic institutions) and Department 2 (administration), which provide many IT services (network, VMs, user ID, etc.), the work in the institutes and faculties is the responsibility of the decentralised administrators.

With the IT Admin Welcome Day, we offer new administrators the opportunity to create sufficient clarity about roles, mutual requirements and perspectives in this network.

We invite you to an information event at the HRZ for the first time on 11 September from 10:00 - 16:00. You can register here.

HRZ-Café

The HRZ Café is one of several exchange rounds organised by the HRZ. It was founded by Martin Ragg, Deputy Director of the HRZ, back in 2014. In its current form, it recently celebrated its 10th anniversary. It provides an opportunity for university-wide open dialogue between the IT administrators of the institutes and the HRZ on all current IT matters, innovations and challenges that the field of work entails. ‘In this way, we create synergies and ensure that all admins who organise IT in their institutes on a decentralised basis are also informed about all important matters, can discuss them with other admins and clarify questions,’ emphasises Martin Ragg. ‘Networking with each other is also a key element, as it is often helpful to know who to contact about certain HRZ services.’ Collegial cooperation, the spirit of the HRZ, is also at the forefront here.

Decentralised administrators and interested parties meet with the HRZ once a month on a regularly in the HRZ Café. There is room for all topics relating to the services of the University Computer and Data Centre, and problems and questions about all HRZ services can be addressed. In addition, the meetings are also used for internal dialogue on IT topics and IT problems. The programme is primarily aimed at administrators, but interested parties are also very welcome. The meetings take place partly online and partly in person.

Further information and the mailing list can be found on the HRZ-Café page for administrators (only accessible from BONNET via VPN).
