The programme area faces a common challenge: global warming, which equally affects both the Slovenian (SI) and Austrian (AT) sides due to very similar environmental, urban, and rural conditions. Cities such as Maribor, Ljubljana, Murska Sobota, Graz, Villach, and Klagenfurt experience comparable impacts from climate change, including heatwaves, storms, prolonged pollen seasons, elevated particulate matter levels, and extreme weather events.
The overarching goal of the HeLiCC project is to…
As part of the project “Innovation Workshop Nature #Agriculture”, carried out in cooperation with the Foundation Blühendes Österreich, the Impact Hub Vienna, and BirdLife Austria, the UNESCO Chair on Sustainable Management of Conservation Areas at Carinthia University of Applied Sciences is responsible for documentation and scientific support. The initiative aims to support innovative nature conservation projects in agriculturally shaped landscapes and to accompany them over the period from 2025…
The ALPS-RADAR project aims to enhance airborne rescue operations in alpine regions by developing an advanced system for automated flight risk assessment. While drone-based rescue missions hold great potential, challenges remain—especially in weather forecasting and drone deployment under complex conditions.
ALPS-RADAR supports decision-making by combining high-resolution weather models with AI-driven analysis to evaluate flight risks for both drones and helicopters. The project leverages…
The project focuses on developing smart protection strategies for subalpine biodiversity through effective monitoring and management practices.In general, due to the decreasing efficiency of traditional management methods caused by resource limitations and climate-induced shifts in breeding seasons, new methods need to be compared, evaluated, and optimized for large-scale application. These methods aim to enable more precise monitoring of conservation statuses, distributions, and their changes,…
