Our seminar introduces students to scientific work and academic writing. It involves the review of scientific literature on a selected topic. Students will document their method and results in a written seminar paper and present their findings to other seminar participants at the end of the semester. The seminar language is English.

In the seminar, we focus on current topics in the field of information systems that are situated within the research focus areas of the chair. The overarching theme of both the bachelor and the master seminar is "Artificial Intelligence (AI)-Based Information Systems". Within this theme, we offer a variety of topics on the design, use, and impact of different AI-based information systems, including Generative AI, Explainable AI (XAI), Business Intelligence and Analytics (BI&A) systems, and more.
