This is shown by a recent research ranking by the global Association for Information Systems (AIS). The University of Kassel, represented by the departments of Management of Digital Transformation (Prof. Dr. Andre Hanelt), Information Systems (Prof. Dr. Jan Marco Leimeister) and Information Systems and Systems Development (Prof. Dr. Matthias Söllner), is ranked sixth in Germany and 14th in the Europe, Africa and Middle East category.

"Although Business Informatics is not yet an independent degree program at the University of Kassel, our presence on the global research map is large, as the ranking shows. This speaks for the excellent conditions that the university offers for students and researchers in this field. The fact that we have a long tradition of interdisciplinary research, for example in scientific centers such as the ITeG, where we work together with colleagues from several Faculties to research the socially desirable design of information technologies, has certainly also contributed to our good ranking," says Prof. Dr. Matthias Söllner, Head of the Department of Information Systems and Systems Development and one of the Directors of the ITeG.

Background

The AIS has just over 5,000 members worldwide. The AIS ranking is based on publications in the world's eight leading business informatics journals in the period from 2021 to 2023.
