Biodiversity monitoring technologies - translating disruptive engineering technologies into conservation practice.

BioMONITec is a COIN project focused on discovering and structuring the latest and traditional technologies and tools for biodiversity monitoring. The available tools will be organized into thematic e-toolkits and made discoverable in the form of an online catalog to support, in the first line, protected area managers. In addition, the project is developing a global guide (MoniGloG) that will help monitor biodiversity in protected areas. Also, an online configurator called MoniConfig will provide a checklist to help conservation practitioners implement the best monitoring systems available.

Building the next generation workforce for the UAS industry in Austria and beyond

DronePilot has the ambitious goal of building the next generation workforce for the UAS industry in Austria and beyond and focuses on the following key innovation goals:
(1) Developing a new holistic training framework for current and future UAS pilots;
(2) Integrate UAS pilot training into the European Qualifications Framework (EQF) by applying innovative and new learner-centered approaches to upskilling and retraining, such as “micro-credentials”;
(3) Develop a vision for an internationally recognized and fully certified European Drone and Data Academy (EDDA) that positions Austria as a major center for UAS education.

Automated scheduling of collaborative drone operations

The community drone develops and evaluates concepts and methods for a coordinated and collaborative use of drones by several interested parties and determines the associated potentials of efficiency increase and cost reductions. The central component is the functional proof of a multi-user/multi-mission planning system for automated and optimized mission planning for jointly used drones. The solution concept will also be evaluated with regard to economic efficiency, feasibility, and regulatory framework conditions.
