+# University-of-Basel-Studentprojects
+
+> [!WARNING]
+> This is **not** an official organization of the University of Basel and is **not affiliated with, endorsed by, or maintained by** the University of Basel in any way.
+>
+> This organization is a personal archive and workspace containing repositories related to projects I worked on during my studies.
+
+This organization contains repositories that were created, maintained, or contributed to in the context of my university studies.
+
+A repository is only included here if it is **directly related to my academic work**, for example:
+
+- coursework
+- lectures
+- seminars
+- exercises
+- research projects
+- group assignments
+- thesis-related work
+
+Personal side projects, experiments, and unrelated repositories are intentionally **not** part of this organization.
+
+## Repository Types
+Repositories hosted here may exist in different forms:
+
+- a one-time imported snapshot
+- an actively synchronized mirror
+- an actively worked on repository
+
+The state and purpose of each repository are documented individually in each repositories readme.
+
+## Repository Metadata
+Each repository should contain information about:
+
+- the academic context in which the work was created
+- the relevant course, lecture, or project
+- the timeframe during which I worked on it
+- whether the work was individual or collaborative
+- other contributors or participants involved in the project
+
+## Purpose
+The goal of this organization is to preserve and document academic work in a structured and transparent way while separating it clearly from unrelated personal projects.
