Prof. Dr. Sebastian Hohenberg, Inhaber des Lehrstuhls für Digitale Transformation und Co-Direktor des Centers for Business Transformation (ChanCe),  wurde vom renommierten Journal of Marketing (JM) als „Outstanding Reviewer“ ausgezeichnet. Die international führende Fachzeitschrift würdigt damit Gutachter:innen, die einen herausragenden Beitrag zur Qualitätssicherung in der Marketingforschung leisten.

From May 18 to May 20, 2026, Lennart Schäpermeier and Leonard Papenmeier from the Department of Information Systems participated in the COSEAL (Configuration and Selection of Algorithms) workshop at RWTH Aachen University. 

The workshop is a premier international event bringing together researchers from academia and industry across all areas of automated artificial intelligence (AutoAI). Participants discussed current advances and trends in the automated configuration and selection of algorithms, including automated machine learning (AutoML), Bayesian optimization, neural architecture search and automated algorithm selection. The latter was celebrated with a special session highlighting 50 years of algorithm selection research.

At this edition, Lennart Schäpermeier presented BONO-Bench, based on joint work with ERCIS member Pascal Kerschke, which was recently accepted at the ACM TELO journal (SJR Q1). BONO-Bench advances the state of the art in evaluating bi-objective optimization heuristics by providing a test suite with controllable challenges and reference solutions, enabling researchers to better understand and configure their optimization heuristics.

The COSEAL workshop series originally started in 2013 at the Department of Information Systems with a workshop organized by Prof. Dr. Heike Trautmann (ERCIS member, now University of Paderborn). It is held anually in locations across Europe and attracts approximately 100 participants from dozens of research institutes. Additionally, Lennart Schäpermeier (together with André Biedenkapp, University of Freiburg, and Theresa Eimer, University of Hannover), serves as a general chair of the COSEAL network.

The next COSEAL workshop is held from May 10-12, 2027 at TU Dortmund.

On 13 May 2026, the School of Business & Economics awarded the Dr. Andreas Dombret Doctoral Prize for the year 2026. This year’s recipient is Dr. Janina Wiebringhaus from the Chair of Marketing Management, headed by Prof. Dr. Manfred Krafft. In her dissertation “Essays on Transformative Value Creation in Mental Healthcare Services”, she examines how transformative value can be created in mental healthcare through interactions between employees, patients, and digital technologies.

Can Germany still have a future? This question was at the centre of the lecture by Prof. Dr. Nils Foege, Head of the Institute for Innovation, Strategy and Organization, at the 2nd Update Economics event. In short, his answer is: yes – if we want it to be, and if we shape digitalisation and sustainability together. How this can be achieved was also a key focus of the subsequent discussion with the audience and moderator Prof. Dr. Johannes Becker. The event concluded with the statement: “The future is not a state – it is a decision,” marking another successful edition of the “Update Economics” series.
