March 2016 the university’s information is presented in a new look. Under the aegis of the Media Centre’s project management team the design, the user-based navigation structure as well as the editorial system have been refined and updated. The technology behind the internet presence has also been revamped: For the relaunch the server infrastructure was renewed and the server capacity extended. In particular, for the start of the semester the technology will now cope better with the increased user demand. Our internet presence to-date originated from 2005 and was no longer up to match modern standards in terms of design and technology. Mainly, the web accessibility was not guaranteed throughout. The display on mobile devices such as smartphones or tablets had to be optimised. Currently the internet pages, up to the level of the 5 schools are being migrated and will be presented in a new look. Until the end of 2016 all other pages e.g. those of the faculties, institutes, chairs and the central units shall be updated. Even though all changes require adjustments and leaving of familiar procedures, they also present new opportunities. Suggestions and criticism are explicitly encouraged and can be sent directly to the Media Centre, where a user advice service dedicated to the web relaunch has been established:
