Research infrastructure

Top facilities for innovative ideas

In most of the academic disciplines represented at the University of Klagenfurt, the only tools needed for research are bright minds, computers, books and journals, paper and pencil, and opportunities for mutual exchange. Those fields that require additional infrastructure in order to study and measure phenomena and to experiment with novel approaches will find this at the University of Klagenfurt.

Bibliothekswürfel der Universität Klagenfurt

University Library

The university library is AAU’s academic information centre and provides literature and information media for studying, research, teaching and continuing education. Furthermore, the university library also offers members of the general public in Carinthia specialist literature as part of an academic general library. The AAU university library is the largest library in Carinthia. The origins of the library date back to the second half of the sixteenth century. The university library is home to around 1 million printed books and extensive e-resources.

Special collections at the University Library Klagenfurt

The special collections comprise 66 parchment manuscripts, 374 paper manuscripts, 271 incunabula, approx. 700 early prints and approx. 30,000 old prints. Though the library in its current form is as young as the University of Klagenfurt, its origins date back as far as 1552 and the establishment of the Protestant state school collegium sapientiae et pietatis. This school also housed a collection of books which, together with volumes from the Millstatt Jesuit Library and several Benedictine monasteries in Carinthia (St. Paul, St. Georgen am Längsee, Arnoldstein, Ossiach), laid the foundation for the future special collections of the University Library Klagenfurt. These precious collections are further augmented by the libraries of renowned personalities such as Joseph Buttinger, Hermann Broch and the family library of Count Peter Goëss. The special collections are not only home to historical works, but also include new acquisitions such as facsimiles and artist’s books.

Many of the works in the special collections (often accompanied by digital copies) can be found via the search engine Surf@UBK.

Sondersammlung
Karl Poppers Schreibmaschine

The Karl Popper Archives

The Karl Popper Archives (KPA) manages the books, correspondence, manuscripts and other writings acquired from the philosopher’s estate in 1995, and makes them available for academic analysis. The archives comprise 205 volumes of bibliophile literature from the 15th to 19th century, including five incunabula, 49 aldines, 79 first editions, 744 editions of Popper’s own works both original and in translation, many specialist journals and 460 archive boxes containing copies of his manuscripts, offprints, letters and notes. In addition to Popper’s own works, the collection includes his entire library of scientific, fiction, children’s and expedition literature. Last but not least, there are the 91 microfilm rolls containing lectures, essays and further correspondence.

Drone Hall

Covering an area of up to 150 square metres and reaching a height of ten metres, the Drone Hall provides state-of-the-art research infrastructure for drone researchers at the University of Klagenfurt. This means a further boost for ‘Drone Hub Klagenfurt’, already one of the world’s most advanced facilities. The key to this research is this: It is essential to be able to detect and localise drones and their position as accurately as possible. Inside the Drone Hall at Lakeside Park, 37 high-precision cameras track every movement throughout the hall using infrared LEDs. The Drone Hall is also equipped with an HPC high-performance computer and a Spidercam featuring four winches and ropes.

Technology Labs

The research groups based at the Faculty of Technical Sciences are equipped with a range of laboratory facilities. They include, among other things, an electronic test laboratory and a driving simulator. In addition, researchers have access to a hydraulic forestry crane with a motion tracking system and a simulation computer.

Psychology Labs

The Psychotherapeutic Research and Teaching Outpatient Clinic offers adults professional support and psychotherapy to help with mental health issues and illnesses. Particular emphasis is placed on the interconnection between psychotherapy research and practice in order to continuously improve the quality of treatment options for mental disorders and the training of prospective psychotherapists on the basis of the latest research findings. The Family and Health Lab has three laboratories. One of the laboratories is equipped with the latest video surveillance technology and provides a suitable environment for observational studies involving aspects of family psychology. The department also has specialist equipment for use in psychophysiological experiments.

Archives of Carinthian Literature

Established in 1993, the Archives of Carinthian Literature, part of the Robert Musil Institute for Literary Research, is responsible for the cataloguing and archiving of collections, pre-mortem bequests and literary estates. This includes manuscripts, but also correspondence and life documents related to the literary writing process. The Archives of Carinthian Literature also hold important scholarly estates and bequests, as well as collections from individuals and institutions that have shaped literary life in Carinthia.
