Latest news on the website relaunch in TYPO3
We are currently in a phase of live testing. These tests show us where fine-tuning is still needed. This teaches us how to optimise the new system to the requirements of our website landscape and keep it stable in the long term.
We are therefore entering the next phase of the soft relaunch and will continue to implement the university-wide website relaunchin stages. This helps us on a technical level and makes sense in terms of content, as it allows us to provide you with the best possible support during the transition.
Every bug identified contributes to improving quality, so that future websites are no longer affected by this issue.
You can find out how to best prepare yourself for this phase below in the list for preparing for backend access.
