Migration from Sciebo to Nextcloud
The cloud service Sciebo will be unavailable from 03 - 04 June 25 due to an urgently required software change of the operator of the University of Münster from Owncloud to Nextcloud.  You will not be able to access your Sciebo data during this upgrade. If you need files from your Sciebo Cloud during this time, we recommend downloading and saving them locally on your PC. You do not need to do anything else. All links will still work after the changeover. New tools and setting options will also be available following the successful changeover. We will keep you informed about this on this website.

Participation of the HRZ at the Bergfest 2025
Under the motto "Celebrate what you've achieved and power up for what's left" the Bergfest takes place in the botanical garden in Poppelsdorf for the third time. On Thursday, June 5 starting at 2 p.m., students can visit the different service and advice stations of the uni, reflext on their study situation and gain new skills at the empowerment stations. Once again the University IT and Data Center is represented with a booth and advises students regarding all IT-services that might be relevant during their studies: students can inform themselves about particularly recent subjects such as AI and HPC but also about data security using the cloud service Sciebo. Of course there is also an interactive element: During a quiz students will have the chance to learn fun facts about the HRZ and win a newly designed HRZ bag or a sustainable ball point pen for the next exam.
