LOCALISED - Decarbonisation Pathways for Local Authorities, Citizens and Businesses

The EU has made it their objective to become climate neutral by 2050. To achieve this goal, measures for decarbonization and climate change adaptation must also be implemented at the level of cities, regions and in the everyday lives of citizens. In the EU project "LOCALISED", suitable tools are being developed for this purpose, which, among others, build on the results of the predecessor project EU-Calculator.

Digital Work during Times of Crisis. For a Gender- and Diversity-Friendly Working -from-Home Culture

This research project, with a participatory research approach using action research, aimed to support employees and employers in finding the appropriate path for a gender- and diversity-friendly "new" digital work culture during and after the pandemic.

AnergieUrban Leuchttürme

Innovative solutions are needed to implement the energy- and heat transition in existing urban areas. Based on real construction projects, this project examines which legal, organizational and socio-economic framework conditions must be created to enable the best possible use of geothermal energy in the form of decentralized anergy networks in urban areas.

Tech4Green – Disruptive Technologies for Sustainable Production

Within the framework of the project, an example catalogue of disruptive technologies in the field of "Tech4Green" was developed together with actors from science, industry and public administration. Furthermore, RDI recommendations for action in the field of sustainable production technologies were developed.

The Austrian Ecolabel for Sustainable Financial Products in the Context of Current Developments

Due to the high topicality of the subject of sustainable finance, new developments at EU level but also at national level are to be expected on an ongoing basis. As part of a continuous series of webinars for the Austrian Ecolabel, current developments in the field of sustainable finance are highlighted and a comprehensive exchange among the various stakeholder groups is encouraged.

Support for the Development of a National R&D Roadmap for Geothermal Energy in Austria (GeoMap)

With the participation of representatives from research, business and society, a national geothermal R&D roadmap is to be aligned with the current challenges and objectives for the future of energy. In a multi-stage, participatory process, the status quo, current trends and drivers are identified and the necessary research topics and priorities in the field of geothermal energy are addressed.

Renovation Solutions in Municipalities (GEMSanDialog)

The decarbonisation of the building sector is a key element in achieving the climate goals. The vast majority of the buildings that will make up Austria's building stock in 2040 have already been built. The major challenge and at the same time the greatest potential for savings therefore lie in the comprehensive modernization of the building stock. The aim of the project is - in dialogue with municipalities - to create awareness and knowledge transfer for renovation solutions.

IEA User-Centred Energy Systems – Empowering All: Gender Equality for the Energy Transition

The OEGUT 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.

Process Support for the RTI-Focus on Circular Economy

In cooperation with the Federal Environment Agency and the Federal Ministry for Climate Protection, Environment, Energy, Mobility, Innovation and Technology (BMK), OEGUT accompanied the process of developing an Austrian circular economy strategy. The strategy process started in autumn 2020 and lasted until spring 2022.

IEA Equality in Energy Transitions Initiative

The Equality in Energy Transitions Initiative (formerly known as Clean Energy, Education and Empowerment - C3E International) is a Technology Collaboration Programme of the IEA and an Initiative of the Clean Energy Ministerial (CEM). Its primary objective is to promote gender equality and diversity within the energy transition process with the goal of closing the gender gap by 2030.
