Special Interest Groups (SIG)

Special Interest Groups deal with specific topics in ILIAS. These groups bring together like-minded people who represent the same interests or want to work on the same problems and key topics. An easy way for anyone to get started with ILIAS development.

Join the groups that sound interesting to you and get in touch!
It doesn’t commit you to anything. You can invest as much or as little time as you like.
