RESEARCH
The University of Klagenfurt is home to a range of priority research fields in which researchers are working on projects to address pressing social issues. Over and above the four faculties and the range of subjects they represent, the following (partly) overarching main areas of research have emerged:
Researchers working in this area of research strength are involved in developing the mobile communication networks and internet architectures of the future, resource-conserving, reliable sensors and camera networks and innovative, user-friendly multimedia systems.
Researchers in this flagship research cluster develop ecologically, technologically and economically beneficial solutions thus contributing to a sustainable society and economy.
Sustainable development, understood as a regulative concept of environmentally compatible, socially just, economically viable development, is an area of research that is picking up pace worldwide. This clusters has adopted an interdisciplinary approach in order to meet the demands of sustainability research and to provide science-based policy advice.
This flagship research cluster attempts to understand systems in which each individual component interacts and responds with the system’s other components and the environment. Nature is often used as an example for processes in economics, psychology and technology.
Images are everywhere and now have a more prominent place than ever in our everyday lives. The university’s flagship research cluster in ‘Visual Culture’ explores how these images communicate meaning in cultural and social contexts.
Digitalization permeates vast areas of human life. It bears both opportunities and risks for human coexistence, the consequences of which cannot adequately be assessed in many areas today. Yet one thing is certain: Digitalization is accompanied by profound processes of change. With its research area “Humans in the Digital Age”, the University of Klagenfurt endeavours to make a decisive contribution to generating scientific knowledge about humankind in the digital age.
