Nationwide guidelines for building culture

The advisory board for building culture, which was established within the Austrian Federal Chancellery, identified the development of nationwide guidelines for building culture in the form of a participatory process as a priority for its current term of office. The OEGUT, together with the organisation “PlanSinn” (“Planning Sense”), was assigned this project.

IEA User-Centred Energy Systems (Users TCP), Annex “Empowering all”: Gender in policy and implementation for achieving transitions to sustainable energy

ÖGUT supports the Austrian Research Promotion Agency (FFG) and the Austrian Federal Ministry for Climate Action, Environment, Energy, Mobility, Innovation and Technology (BMK) in developing country-specific recommendations for integrative energy strategies. This concerns political interventions and technology developments.

IEA Clean Energy, Education and Empowerment

The Clean Energy, Education and Empowerment (C3E) is a Technology Collaboration Programme of the IEA. C3E aims to build a community of women leaders in the field of clean energy across diverse sectors; create a framework for co-operation and information sharing among participating countries; and share best practices for effective strategies to advance women in the clean energy field.

NANO CYCLE: Nano materials and advanced materials in a circular economy and effects on recycling processes

Over the past years synthetic nano materials and so called “advanced materials” have been increasingly used in products. In many cases there are no labelling obligations for consumer goods containing nano materials. In this project, these components are going to be quantified in waste flows in a circular economy.

The Role of Women in Transformation

Our society is confronted with major challenges and gender equality plays an important role in respect to sustainable development. In order to initiate and shape according transformation processes in organisations and society as a whole, it is necessary to focus on the deployment of female and male potential. ÖGUT engages in these topics in the course of a background study and a workshop at the Growth in Transition Conference 2018 (the motto was: Europe’s Transformation: Where People Matter).

Competence Office „Smart Cities & Communities“

Smart cities and communities play an important role when it comes to the transition to an energy efficient and climate-friendly work- and lifestyle. The competence office contributes to the protection and the expansion of the topic leadership through comprehensive professional programm and project support. The focus lies on the developement of technology and the organisation of a corresponding (research-)community.

Social Innovations for Energy Transition

A profound transition to a sustainable society is only possible through an interplay between technological and social innovation. In the course of the projekt SINNergyTRANS, ÖGUT and AIT will develop methodological approaches, with which social innovation for energy transition is created, monitored and evaluated in certain regions.

Supervising Evaluation of the Funding from the European funds for Regional Developement

In the supervising evaluation of the austrian EFRE programm (European Funds for Regional Development), effectivity, efficiency and effect of the funded activity are assessed. The main responsibilty of ÖGUT is the evaluation of the step which leads to the saving on CO2 emissions.

Accompanying Research „Flagship region Energy“

As a part of the accompanying research team of the programme „Flagship region Energy“ ÖGUT supports the Climate and Energy Fund regarding communication measures and the implementation of programme events.

Open FTI Data Pioneers

Open FTI Data enable interested people to gain new research findings. In order to evaluate practical experience with data management plans and OD in a structurised way and to derive guide lines for good practice, a group of open data pioneers should test the implementation of DMP and OD for the future as a part of a supervised process.
