On Thursday, September 4, 2025, from 8:00 PM to 10:00 PM, there will be an outage of WhoIs system. This will limit work in IS studium. For example, you will not be able to submit thesis. Subscription to courses should remain unaffected by the outage. We apologize for any inconveniece and we thank you for understanding.
