Light pollution (LP), caused by artificial lighting disrupting the natural rhythm of day and night, has wide-ranging impacts on biodiversity, human health, energy consumption, climate, and cultural heritage, as it reduces insect populations, alters animal behavior, interferes with circadian rhythms and melatonin production, increases CO₂ emissions through excessive electricity use, and obscures the starry sky that has historically guided human navigation and science; despite 80% of the world’s…
This project is based on the belief that fungi and their mycelium networks are among the most sustainable and transformative organisms, with great potential for future applications. Although Carinthia strongly focuses on sustainability, circular economy, and regional value creation, the topic of fungi has so far been largely underrepresented.
The project aims to introduce fungal knowledge to Carinthia, build regional expertise, and create a foundation for innovation in areas such as agriculture,…
The AURORA project establishes a sustainable
foundation for long-term cooperation between CUAS and
UGD within the ACE2-EU alliance. The exit strategy
focuses on institutional integration of results: the jointly
developed strategic framework will be embedded in both
universities’ curricula, research agendas, and teacher
training activities. Follow-up proposals under Erasmus+
Capacity Building, Interreg, or Horizon Europe will ensure
continuity and expansion. The project’s impact will be
assessed through…
Further Development of 3D-Printed Concrete Components
Conducting laboratory tests on 3D-printed concrete components and fresh concrete
Developing design guidelines for the use of 3D-printed concrete elements to optimize the structural performance of components
The project aims to develop an AI-supported system for the automatic generation of structured patient summaries in geriatrics. Using deep learning methods, a wide variety of multimodal patient data is integrated, outdated and irrelevant information is filtered out, and clinically relevant aspects are highlighted. The prototype is intended to assist physicians with medication and treatment planning, reduce the burden of documentation, and increase safety. An explainable, trustworthy AI…
