By the end of October, Rainer Malaka received the IFIP Fellow Award. The title of IFIP Fellow is the most prestigious IFIP’s technical distinction, which is conferred by the IFIP General Assembly on a current or past member of an IFIP body (e.g. WG, TC, GA, Domain Committee, IP3) in recognition of outstanding contributions in the field of information processing, in the role of a Technical Leader, Scientist, Engineer, or Educator.

The IFIP Fellow Award honours individuals who have achieved distinction in the field of ICT and provided exceptional service to IFIP and the global computing community. Rainer Malaka, Professor of Digital Media and Director of the Centre for Computing Technologies (TZI), adds to this with his spezialising on interaction design, AI and entertainment computing.

Congrats, Rainer! We are very proud of you.
