BioDivTech Lab – conceptualizing a new research infrastructure for biodiversity monitoring
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: With the advent of new technological capabilities for recording and monitoring biodiversity, the requirements for research infrastructure are changing. Currently, Carinthia University of Applied Sciences (CUAS) is developing testing facilities designed to enable synchronized biodiversity assessment at various scales in the medium term. This major investment is supported by the Austrian Research Promotion Agency, FFG, and is scheduled to become fully operational in the coming years. The facilities comprise several components, including the SKS research site at Metschacher Moos, stationary measurement and observation networks, a mobile biodiversity laboratory, and laboratory and computational resources at CUAS. These infrastructure components are utilized by researchers and students at CUAS and are also intended to be made available to collaborating scientific institutions and companies.
