Have you joined the university during the online semesters and don’t really know your way around the campus? For students just like you we are now offering Campus tours! During a Campus Tour we will walk you through the different faculties of the Campus, show you the Cafés and other important places. Please plan at least 2 hours for a tour!
Interested? Click on the link below to book your Campus Tour. Meeting location is in front of the students council room (building E1.3 room 109, directly below the huge blue poster hanging from the ceiling!).
Hey folks, as you might already know, our master student introduction phase for this summer semester is this weekend from the 9th to the 10th of April. This is where we will teach you everything you need to know to get a smooth start into your studies. In addition to that, we will teach you how to get around Germany and all the essential things you need to know.
the Computer Science Students Council invites you to our MfCS1-revision course (“Repetitorium”), which will be held between March 28th and 30th. It’s a daily event from 14:00 to 20:00. The Repetitorium is a voluntary preparatory course for the re-exam on April 4th. During the Repetitorium, you have the chance to work together on new exercises and ask questions to our tutors. Furthermore, we will provide a preparatory exam on March 29th and discuss the solutions afterwards. If you want to participate, you can simply join our Discord-Server. You can find the link on the CMS-Webpage. Please fill out the Survey, which is published on our Discord-Server. Sadly, we can’t ensure that we are able to provide an English version of the Repetitorium due to limited resources. However, if you have any questions, feel free to write a a email to doering@cs.fs.uni-saarland.de.
The so called “Corona Order”, which amongst other things includes an additional “free shot” at exams and the prolonging of the regular study time, has been extended for the winter semester 21/22. You can find the exact rules and further information on the page of the examination office.
The Students’ Council is organizing an Online Game Night this Saturday (15.05. 7pm CEST)! Join us on Discord and play games such as Jackbox, Codenames and Gartic Phone together. Or just hang around and chat.
The student’s representative council in cooperation with the Umwelt-Campus Birkenfeld is organizing a workshop on Green Software Engineering on January 15 from 9:30-11:30, of course digitally. Since the number of participants is limited, please register until January 10 at the following link:
There will be an introductory lecture of about half an hour, during which Prof. Naumann from the Umwelt-Campus will explain the question of the ecological footprint of information technology. This is by no means trivial, as digitization and the necessary components such as end devices, networks, data centers/cloud-computing and also software are on the one hand seen as contributors to environmental pollution and climate change, and on the other hand are also traded as part of the solution to these complex problems. Information and communications technology (ICT) causes over 2 % of greenhouse gas emissions across the board and is thus of the same order of magnitude as international air traffic or even the CO2 emissions of Germany. Conversely, digitization offers considerable opportunities when it comes to savings and optimization: There are indications that consumption can be overcompensated by ICT, provided that optimization and efficiency potentials are exploited e.g. in the areas of agriculture, mobility, building automation and production.
As programmers, we have a great deal of influence on this impact when we design software. This will be the focus of the practical part of the workshop, in which we will be guided through the measurement environment for recording the energy and resource consumption of IT and software, and the setup and implementation of various tests will be explained. Test results will be interpreted and participants can come up with their own ideas for future projects.
The workshop will present the ecological ICT footprint in a coherent manner, as well as criteria for more sustainable ICT based on the “Blauer Engel (Blue Angel) for Software” and “Blauer Engel for Data Centers” certifications. (The “Blauer Engel” is a German seal for particularly environmentally friendly products).

Dear students of the computer science study programmes!
From now on until Friday you have the opportunity to elect your new students’ representative council. Due to the circumstances this year’s election will be held online by the AStA, so participation from abroad is easily possible.
You can find the 15 candidates for the students’ council and their election profiles here:
The ballot count will take place on November 30th at 6:00 pm publicly via Microsoft Teams. Use the following join code (Teams > Join a team): pqt2z13
In case of problems please contact the AStA student council department at fachschaften@asta.uni-saarland.de . If you have any further questions, please contact us or the student council department at the AStA.
