The Chair of Artificial Intelligence in IT Security at the University of Regensburg (Prof. Dr Maria Leitner) is organising a digital scavenger hunt on 24 October 2025 with a thematic focus on IT security, artificial intelligence, communication and web security. The aim of the competition is to provide students and all interested parties with practical knowledge in the field of cyber security and to promote interdisciplinary cooperation. The event will take place on 24 October 2025 from 13:00 to 18:00 at the University of Regensburg, Bajuwarenstra?e 4.
Students and IT enthusiasts from all disciplines are invited to compete in a demanding but accessible competition - both beginners and advanced students will find exciting challenges here
A highlight of the event is the award ceremony, where the best teams are honoured. Participation is free of charge, but the number of participants is limited - early registration is therefore recommended.
For all those who are still undecided or simply want to get a taste of CTF air, the university is also offering an online taster event on 17 October 2025 from 13:00. Interested parties can gain their first experience here and make it easier to get started.
