Launch of mentoring for women in the forestry and timber industry

The 2024 mentoring programme started successfully with great commitment from all participants

We launched the 2024 mentoring programme with 19 committed mentoring pairs. The participating mentors and mentees were able to get to know each other. The workshop on "Gender-reflective mentoring" provided initial ideas for the framework of the collaboration over the next 12 months.

Climate-smart urban development - ERASMUS+ Project in Vienna

The ERASMUS+ Project SmartWB aims to improve higher education quality in climate-smart urban development (CSUD). During times of increasing urbanization, cities should be well-planned and managed. The Project is a collaboration of several higher educational institutions (HEIs). This project Workshop on CSUDs, current and future challenges, was held 31st May to 2nd June 2023, at BOKU Vienna.

Welcome

We research and teach on topics of the systemic relationships between space, landscape, buildings, and infrastructures as well as the socio-economic processes involved in their creation. Our area of expertise focuses on the sustainable and resource-conserving planning and design of living and economic spaces, buildings, and infrastructures as well as protection against natural hazards.

Research covers the areas of protection and development of natural and cultural landscapes, recording, planning, and design of urban, suburban, small-town, and rural living spaces and the necessary infrastructures.

Important research areas include water bodies, integrative water management, nature conservation, land use, recreational and leisure uses, mobility, landscape planning and landscape architecture, spatial planning including spatial energy planning and environmental planning, construction technology, resource-efficient and sustainable planning, construction and maintenance of buildings and infrastructure including soil management, residual material and waste management, earth observation, and protection against natural hazards.

Future research priorities include climate protection, climate impact assessment, and climate change adaptation, biodiversity conservation, innovative and transdisciplinary research and planning processes, natural hazard analyses and risk management, spatial, technical, and social aspects of the energy transition and the water-energy-food nexus, digitalization and automation of transport and logistics, digital and automated planning including life cycle analyses, management, construction and maintenance of buildings and civil engineering structures with the application of AI-based solutions, as well as the development of innovative nature-based green-blue infrastructures.
