Successful completion of pilot project: HRZ supports establishment of IT service at ETF
For almost two years, the HRZ has been supporting the pilot project to set up a dedicated IT service at the Faculty of Protestant Theology (ETF). The project can now be considered a complete success. After a short familiarisation phase, the new service has established itself as a permanent and reliable support in everyday work. The service is actively and readily used both on site and via the ticket system. Faculty staff particularly appreciate the fast response times and personal contact that characterise their collaboration with the IT team. The project has also attracted attention beyond the faculty: several other departments are observing the ETF's IT service model with great interest and are considering similar cooperation with the HRZ. The project at the ETF thus serves as a model within the university.

On October 6, our former apprentice, Daniel Jonas, was honored by the Bonn/Rhein-Sieg Chamber of Commerce and Industry as the chamber's best apprentice IT specialist in system integration. He passed his final exam in July with a the highest grade, making him one of the two best in his profession for the 2025 exam year. The University IT and Data Center was also honored for its training achievements. The ceremonial presentation of the certificates by IHK President Stefan Hagen and IHK Head of Apprenticeship Training Sven Schnieber was accompanied by a dinner and an acrobatic performance at the GOP Varieté Theater in Bonn. Congratulations Daniel on this outstanding achievement! Daniel continues to work at the University IT and Data Center and is now part of our email team.

We welcome all new students at the University of Bonn! As the University IT and Data Center (HRZ) of the university, we manage the central IT services, which you can access through your studies.  To make sure that the first weeks run smoothly, we have created a checklist of the most important services that will help you to find your way around Uni Bonn: Activate your Uni-ID on gosa.gosa.uni-bonn.de, to use all digital services of the university: Your Uni-ID is your unique user name and among others it offers you access to the semester ticket and your lecture and exam registrations. Download the Uni-Bonn app, to always have your student ID, the semester ticket, the library card and the cantine menus on hand. Set up your email account to conveniently receive your mails on your smartphone and laptop. Configure Eduroam and VPN to access wifi across the campus and to read all academic journals. Create a Sciebo account at hochschulcloud.nrw to be able to manage your data in the university cloud. Besides all of these essential services, we offer other services that might be helpful to your studies.
