- 23.05.2022: Prof. Hußmann passed away
Unexpectedly, our dear colleague Heinrich Hußmann has passed away on May 23rd, 2022 as a result of a severe heart attack. As the founder of Media Informatics at LMU, he is a role model and an inspiration to all of us. As a colleague, teacher, mentor and friend, he always had an open ear, and he leaves a gap which can't be filled.
Our thoughts are with his family, and in spite of all consternation, we do what would have been his highest priority, by ensuring the continuation of all teaching and other activities in our group.
In deep sorrow, the Media Informatics Group at LMU - 31.03.2022: Changed procedure for final theses (Bachelor and Master)
Starting with summer term 2022, final theses in the Media Informatics study programs are registered and submitted through the Uni2Work system, as it is the case already for the Informatics study program.

We would like to point out this statement by LMU and another statement by the Institute for Informatics, which we support emphatically: Solidarity with Ukraine
