MCI: Tyrolean Science Fund success

Eight cutting-edge research projects awarded state grant – safeguarding Tyrol’s competitiveness as a location for business and science

No fewer than eight fascinating research projects from the Entrepreneurial School® succeeded in being granted subsidies from the Tyrolean Science Fund (TWF). The supported projects range from such topics as process engineering to electronic measuring systems, lean production, fluid dynamics, renewable energy, valorization of biomass, food technology, and family businesses.

The following projects have received the Science Fund’s recognition:

• Laser optical survey of swirling flow with high velocity gradients (head of project: Benjamin Massow)
• Ionic fluid membrane for the cleaning of biogas (head of project: Marc Koch)
• "Lean Production" for SMBs (head of project: Anita Klotz)
• Animal feedstuff quality assurance (head of project: Nataly Knöpfle)
• Bionic fiber-reinforced plastics (head of project: Thomas Rettenwander)
• SMBs’ potential for innovation in the context of generational transition (head of project: Gabriela Leiß)
• Semi-ceramic carrier materials in catalytic converters for reducing vehicle emissions (head of project: Lukas Möltner)
• Reaction mechanism and kinetics of hydorthermal carbonization (head of project: Werner Stadlmayr)

The Tyrolean Science Fund was set up by the state of Tyrol for the promotion of scientific research and the support of young researchers, and the safeguarding of the international competitiveness of Tyrol. The Entrepreneurial School® sees in the TWF grants an extraordinary token of appreciation on the part of the state of Tyrol. The subsidies support cutting-edge applied research projects focusing on real-world problems faced by industry.
