Technical tips

  • Please do not use your own laptops.

    Suitable laptops can be reserved and borrowed from us. These are optimally matched to the technology in the seminar rooms.

  • If using your own device is absolutely necessary:

    Make sure that a VGA connection is available – either directly on the device or via a suitable adapter.

    (All of the projectors in the seminar rooms have VGA connections.)

  • Save files additionally on a USB stick:

    Preferably in PDF or PPT/PPTX format, as internet disruptions may occasionally occur on the university network.

  • Please discuss special formats or special requirements in advance with the IT / media lab.
