Im Rahmen der Salzburger Hochschulwochen referierte Universitätsprofessor Alexander Meschtscherjakov von der Paris Lodron Universität Salzburg PLUS über diesen wesentlichen Erfolgsfaktor bei der Akzeptanz von Technologie.

is a transdisciplinary research project between the PLUS, Uni Graz and the UNESCO on mass movements in mountain ranges, such as those that occur during rockfalls. Univ.-Prof. Andreas Schröder is representing the department of mathematics. Landslide deposits represent special ecosystems and can form reservoirs for drinking water. Positive effects of the climate change therefore become visible in a unique way.

Jörg Paetzold (PLUS) receives SNSF Research Exchange Grant to study the effects of free public transport on the mobility behavior of the population. In a current research project Jörg Paetzold is investigating the extent to which free public transport can help to facilitate a switch from individual transport (e.g. cars) to public transport (e.g. bus or rail).
