Research for the Future: Contributions from UAS Technikum Wien at the Research Forum at IMC FH Krems
28 May, 2024
At the Research Forum 2024, representatives of UAS Technikum Wien presented a wide range of projects on topics such as digitalization, climate neutrality and the integration of virtual technologies into teaching.
The Research Forum 2024 at IMC University of Applied Sciences Krems provided a platform for the exchange of innovative ideas and research results. Representatives of UAS Technikum Wien presented their current projects and discussed the future of digitalization, climate neutrality and renewable energies.
Innovative projects and presentations
Representatives of UAS Technikum Wien presented a series of impressive papers and posters. Karl Michael Höferl, Phillipp Thunshirn and Frederike Ettwein presented their contribution “Between bits and kilowatts – How Viennese households are living out the digitalization of their energy system”. Daniel Bell and Karl Michael Höferl discussed “Climate-neutral studying, teaching and research – but how”.
Energy communities and climate fitness
Another highlight was the contribution by Jasmin Helnwein und Mélanie Michel, who addressed the question “Who and what is climate fit?”. Frederike Ettwein, Mélanie Michel and Peter Illich presented their research on the “Transformative power of energy communities: insights from the inside”. Alexander Hirschl-Schmol and Daniel Österreicher also discussed the potential of small wind turbines in Austria.
Technological innovations and best practices
Manuel Trampert und Alexander Erber presented the project “PowerShade & Solarer Parkplatz Teesdorf – Best Practice for Building-Integrated PV”. Simon Schneider and Manuel Trampert showed how “Energy Building Modeling from gappy GIS Data” can be implemented. In the field of teaching, Jose Garcia Estrada, Sebastian Rauh and Robert Fellner presented the integration of virtual technologies in teaching by means of virtual laboratories and mixed reality teaching artifacts in industrial engineering.
Presentations on artificial intelligence
Special attention was paid to the research project AIAV “Applying and Understanding AI”, which was presented by Lucas Muster, Judith Klamert-Schmid und Wilfried Wöber. This project, funded by the MA23 of the City of Vienna, implemented a knowledge hub on the topic of artificial intelligence. The online platform aiav.technikum-wien.at aims to improve the decision-making ability of SMEs through freely available content such as explanations, short videos and program code.
Future collaborations
The Research Forum 2024 at IMC FH Krems offered representatives of UAS Technikum Wien a valuable opportunity to present their projects and exchange ideas with other experts. The projects presented impressively demonstrated how diverse and innovative research at UAS Technikum Wien is. The event laid the foundation for future collaborations and further progress in the research areas presented.
