In Practical Project II, students work independently in teams on research- and practice-oriented projects in the field of business informatics, with a focus on digital business. The projects have a strong practical focus and are based on current research questions from the Institute for Business Analytics (IBA) and the Institute for Databases and Information Systems (DBIS). Students apply the skills they have previously learned, familiarize themselves with new tools as needed, and ultimately produce a written report and a presentation.

Upon completion, they will be able to solve practical problems, interpret results, and derive recommendations. They will acquire skills in teamwork, project management, and stress management that they can apply to future projects.

Practical Project II will be conducted in the Summer Semester 2026 in cooperation with the FC Augsburg Youth Academy. FC Augsburg contributes specific topic proposals, provides students with datasets, and serves as a point of contact throughout the entire project phase. In this way, students work on real-world problems while gaining in-depth, practical insights into a professional field of application. The topics are not exclusively soccer-specific; prior knowledge of soccer is not required.
