The Department of Computer Science at Saarland University turned 50 years old as of a few days ago. While Günter Hotz was the first professor of computer science in 1969, there are now 1900 students enrolled in computer science, and around 800 scientists conduct research at the six world-renowned research institutes, which jointly operate as the "Saarland Informatics Campus" (SIC). During the last weekend in May, the Department of Computer Science celebrated its birthday with several events.
