Principal Investigator |
2017-2018 | * European Environmental Agency Tender “Technical specifications for implementation of CLC+ based on the EAGLE concept” Total Budget: 130k EUR, Budget for TU Graz: 12k EUR |
Principal Investigator |
2014-2016 | *ASSIST 4.0 national research project; funded by FFG, Call "Produktion der Zukunft" (future production/manufacturing/industry 4.0) Collaborative Research Project (30 months); Budget: overall project budget: ~3 Mio EUR; overall grant sum: ~1,9 Mio EUR; budget for RSA iSPACE: ~285k EUR; grant sum for RSA: ~230k EUR Goal: development of mobile context-aware systems for an industrial production 4.0. Production 4.0 refers to an intelligent production with that is aware of 3D position and time respectively. |
Principal Investigator |
2013-2016 | *FOCUS - Advances in Forestry Control and Automation Systems International research project (11 Partners from Europe): Collaborative Research Project Grant (30 months): Grant Sum: Approx 4 Mio EUR, Grant for iSPACE: 400k EUR Goal: control and planning of forest-based supply chains; Long term sustainability of European forest-based industries and the development of rural areas require further improvements in the integration and automation of forest related processes, pushing forward precision forestry. |
Principal Investigator |
2012-2015 | MOSIPS - Modeling and Simulation of the Impact of Public Policies on SMEs International research project; funded by European Commission (FP7); duration 36 monts; Goal: to develop a user-friendly policy simulation system allowing forecasting and visualization of the socio-economic potential impact of public policies. |
Principal Investigator |
2009-2010 | Land Information System Austria National research project; funded by FFG (Austrian Space Applications Programme); duration 18 months; funding approx 1.5 mio EUR; Goal: overcome the shortcomings of “classical” land use and land cover datasets for regional, national and European administration and reporting issues. Objective is to develop a new homogeneous database for land use and land cover information, and to generate new contextual information out of existing aerial and satellite images. |
