Fit through studying: Workshop starts new series of consultations at university!

Erlangen, Deutschland - On April 28, 2025, a new workshop at the Friedrich Alexander University Erlangen-Nuremberg (FAU) was launched, which deals with the support of students during their studies. Under the title "Fit together through the course of study", the initiative aims to bring the participating helpful strategies for coping with stress and improving the study organization. The FAU has explained that the workshops will take place in both presence and online, whereby the first session will offer an introduction to different techniques for self -organization.

The workshop is particularly relevant for the current time in which students are often confronted with high demands and pressure. Achieve your goals and remain mentally stable are central topics that are to be treated in the various events. The university encourages all students to register and benefit from the resources offered in order to make their studies more effective and healthier. In this context, the FAU emphasizes that workshops like this represent a valuable addition to the academic offers of the university.

relevance of data protection in the digital environment

While the workshop focuses on personal development, there are also important innovations in the field of data protection that concern the handling of digital information. On December 01, 2021, the TDDDG (Telecommunications Digital Date Protection Act) came into force. This law, which was originally known as TTDSG, complements the GDPR and regulates access to data to end devices, especially with regard to cookies. Users must now expressly agree before their data is processed, which represents a clear improvement in data protection measures. As reported drd-datenschutz.de , there was ambiguities before the introduction of the TDDDG regarding the regulations on cookies in Germany, which were resolved by this new law.

The TDDDG was legally anchored for the opt-in principle for cookies, which means that users now have a real choice between "agree" and "rejecting". Cookie banners must be clearly and understandably designed in order to offer users the opportunity to consent. In the event of violations of these regulations, sensitive fines of up to 300,000 euros are threatened, which is of great importance for companies.

objective of digital regulations

The regulatory changes are part of a greater movement for more security and transparency in the digital space. In addition to the TDDDG, EU and Germany are also working on other important regulations to promote innovation and to maintain the rights of users. An example of this is the eidas-regulation and trust services in Europe.

The Federal Ministry of Digital and Transport (BMDV) also set standards to combat online disinformation, especially in social media. The Digital Services Act and new data protection regulations should help to ensure that personal data is not only processed safely but also transparently. These framework conditions are crucial in order to create a trustworthy digital environment in which users feel good and their rights are preserved.
