VSR at Mensch und Computer (MuC) 2025: Hosting Europe’s Leading HCI Conference

When we say "special," we mean both a wonderful and an incredibly demanding experience. While regular attendees enjoyed a 3.5-day conference, our dedicated volunteers worked for five full days, including setup and teardown. For some team members, preparations began months in advance.
As the General Chair, Prof. Martin Gaedke, and as the Local Chair, Dr. Sebastian Heil, led one of Europe's largest HCI conferences. Together with two other professorships from TU Chemnitz, the VSR team succeeded in providing around 500 attendees with a well-planned, highly engaging, and thoroughly successful MuC conference in Chemnitz. We also owe a huge thank you to the many student volunteers who actively helped, including a number of bachelor’s, master's and PhD students from our Web Engineering program.
The feedback we received, both in person and on LinkedIn, was overwhelmingly positive. Not only was the excellent organization praised, but the central theme of "Digital Diversity" and the inspiring workshops and sessions also received high acclaim. And, as one person noted, "Chemnitz is a beautiful place, by the way."

Exam review second appointment for Winter Semester 2024/2025

The second exam review for the exams written in the winter semester 2024/2025 will again be held in presence. Please note that we do not disclose sample solutions during the exam review.
The appointment will take place in presence on May 20 2025
from 13:30-15:00. You can freely choose, when you want to come in for the
review, although you can do so only once. Please consider that each review per exam takes
probably about 10 minutes. Thus, arriving later than 10 minutes to the end you might have
no chance to review anymore. This adds up accordingly if you want to review more than one
exam.
The exam review will take place in the FRIZ computer pool
A11.201
(old: 1/B201). Please bring your student ID and wait at the door as you will be
let in one by one. More information on the process of the presence exam review can be
found in the edu
FAQ. If you have further questions after reading the FAQ, you can send your
question by mail to us via vsr-edu@informatik.tu-chemnitz.de.
