At the graduation ceremony of the Lucerne School of Computer Science and Information Technology on October 31, 2025, 425 graduates received their diplomas. The NextGen Leader Award went to a project from the CAS Cloud and Platform Manager.
After a festive opening, Marlene Müller, member of the Board of Governors of the Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts, addressed the guests with an inspiring speech. At the graduation ceremony of the Lucerne School of Computer Science and Information Technology, 390 participants received their Certificate of Advanced Studies diploma and 35 participants received a Master of Advanced Studies diploma.
Marlene Müller congratulated all the graduates and praised their courage and perseverance - a symbol that they have remained curious and taken on responsibility.
She made special mention of the 17 MAS graduates in Information & Cyber Security: "Fake news, data misuse and cyber attacks have long since become part of everyday life. This makes it all the more important for specialists to take responsibility, protect systems and create trust - and thus contribute to the digital resilience of our society.
"At a time when technologies are changing rapidly, companies are looking for people who not only have specialist knowledge, but also understand the interrelationships, recognize opportunities and can shape change. The economy needs you - you put knowledge into practice, you shape the digital future, securely, responsibly and innovatively. " says Müller.
The economy needs you - you put knowledge into practice, you shape the future, securely, responsibly and innovatively.
NextGen Leader Award
In collaboration with the Digital Veterans Association, a panel of experts awarded the NextGen Leader Award to an outstanding thesis. The award recognizes creative, innovative and socially relevant work that offers not only technical depth but also practical solutions to current challenges.
The award went to Daniel Rüegg and Dominik Brand for their thesis "Knowledge access with Azure OpenAI in healthcare: Acceptance, architecture and further development of the SPG bot". The work is exemplary for the practice-oriented use of AI in knowledge organization, emphasized the jury. It offers a concrete framework for institutions that want to operate generative systems productively and combines technological innovation with real usability in everyday life. The outstanding transfer work was developed as part of the CAS Cloud and Platform Manager.
