  • Keynote Lecture von Margreth Keiler bei der Geographie-Werkstatt

    On March 7 and 8, the bi-annual meeting of the Austrian Geography Association ("Geographie-Werkstatt") took place at the University of Innsbruck. The meeting was held on the topic of "Discussing Geographic Method(ology)s: Integration, Experimentation, and Innovation".

    Margreth Keiler shared her experiences of inter- and transdisciplinary research in a keynote lecture. Under the title "Risky business? Challenges and potentials of interdisciplinarity in mountain research", she presented the challenges and opportunities of an inter- and transdisciplinary working group, such as our CHLS team. In order to understand and respond to the risks to which society is exposed due to natural hazards, an approach that takes different scientific disciplines as well as partners outside science seriously is important. In addition to some examples from everyday research practice, Margreth Keiler also gave tips for interdisciplinary researchers.  (Recording: Elisabeth Gruber)

 

 

 

 

  • The 2nd stakeholder workshop of the "CAUTION" project will take place on 01.03.2024 from 13:00 - 17:00 in Kaunerberg in the Kaunertal.

The event is entitled "Water and natural hazards in a changing climate". Specialist presentations on the current state of research, risk, resilience and possible courses of action are planned, as well as a workshop section for all interested parties and experts to exchange ideas. Participants will have the opportunity to help shape the "CAUTION" project, the research objectives and results based on their needs and interests.
