The winners of the Cycling Challenge have been announced!

In 2023, many students and employees once again took part in the Cycling Challenge as part of the initiative “The University gets cycling”. There were two categories: the “commuting” category and the “total distance” category. The winners have now been honoured and rewarded with prizes!

A total of 63 university members took part in the Cycling Challenge last year. Juliane Achleitner is the winner in the “total distance” category, followed by Elmar Lenhart and Uwe Dutschmann. Elmar Lenhart wins in the “commuting” category, followed by Andrea Bonizzi and Nina Hofbauer. The winners received a reward for their commitment in the form of T-shirts and water bottles.

The University of Klagenfurt, whose environmental management system has been EMAS-certified since 2013, provides various incentives for environmentally and climate-conscious behaviour. One of these incentives is the Cycling Challenge, which took place for the second time in 2023. The aim is to replace as many kilometres travelled by car as possible with kilometres travelled by bike. More information about the “The University gets cycling” initiative can be found on our website.

We congratulate the winners of the challenge, are delighted with all the brave winter cyclists and wish everyone a sporty start to the cycling season in spring!

When forests regrow: ERC Starting Grant for sustainability researcher Simone Gingrich

In many industrialised countries, forests are starting to regrow after centuries or millennia of large-scale deforestation. This appears positive for the global climate system, because forests sequester carbon that would otherwise accumulate in the atmosphere. However, forest regrowth may not necessarily be a viable strategy for climate-change mitigation. Simone Gingrich has been awarded a prestigious ERC Starting Grant and plans to use it to identify and analyse the “hidden emissions” of reforestation processes.

Smaller & lighter: Printed sensors for spectrometers

Imagine that a pipeline that stretches for miles and miles springs a leak. Traditionally, this would mean many miles of walking for someone tasked with finding the hole. In an ideal world, this search for the precise point of methanol leakage could also be performed by a drone, onto which a spectrometer has been mounted that specializes in analysing chemical samples. Existing devices are currently far too heavy; the drone would soon have to give up. Lisa-Marie Faller is working on a technology, with which the fitted spectrometers can be made much smaller and would therefore be suitable for this type of deployment, amongst others. In recognition of her work, the doctoral student received the Best Paper Award at the IEEE Conference EuroSimE in Dresden in April.
