New design
The relaunch of the Academic Cloud was published on June 13, 2024. We would like to thank all users who actively contributed to this with their feedback and are delighted to be able to present the result to you now!
Overviews, search and findability
The new user interface now offers the option of filtering services via the search function. In addition, each service is described in more detail and, after logging in, the services that the registered account can use are clearly displayed. The services that cannot be used are grayed out.
Single sign-on login
The single sign-on login to the Academic Cloud services also has a new look. However, the functionality and menu navigation in the login remain the same for you.
