academicCloud vs HSRW Campus

In a digitalized world we all rely on a growing amount of services for education, work and recreation. Therefore it is essential that reliable, secure and trustworthy services exist for numerous user groups and a large variety of applications. The idea behind the Academic Cloud is to offer such services to students and employees of universities and higher education institutes in Niedersachsen, Germany. Hosted in academic data centers according to German data protection and data security directives, the Academic Cloud supports studies and work with a growing digital service portfolio. The Academic Cloud is co-funded by the „Niedersächsisches Ministerium für Wissenschaft und Kultur“ (MWK). Planning and operation are supported by the LANIT/HRZ, the forum of the university data centers in Niedersachsen.

HSRW Campus is the official campus app of the Rhine-Waal University of Applied Sciences. With the Campus-App.nrw project, which began in April 2022 and in which the Center for Information and Media Services is the consortium leader, the development of the common framework “universe” for a new campus app was started together with other universities. The following functions are included in the HSRW Campus App: - Current menus for the various canteens in Kleve and Kamp-Lintfort - Information about the university libraries as well as personal information on loans, reservations and fees - Digital access to the library card - Current news from the university and the individual faculties - Collection of the most important university links and the option to create your own links - Multilingualism: The app can be used in English or German. - Dark Mode
