Drawing on more than eight years working to implement Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI) in the Human Brain Project, a large EU-funded research project that brings together neuroscience, computing, social sciences, and the humanities, and one of the largest investments in RRI in one project, this article offers insights on RRI and explores i...

Covid-19 changes the lives for all of us: Institutions and other places are closed; it is not possible to see friends and family personally and keeping distance is the topmost commandment. Therefore, most of us are working from home and digitalisation is on the way up in many aspects of life. The HBP has a long-lasting experience of interdisciplina...

Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI) has become increasingly important in recent years with the European Commission listing gender equality as one of the six policy keys. Various organizations, insti-tutions and platforms have thus developed tools and guidelines on how to integrate gender and diversi-ty issues in different research contexts. 2...

Researchers are more and more frequently required to report the gender balance of their teams in order to receive funding for their research projects. In Europe for instance, Horizon 2020 guidelines determine that applications with a balanced, 50/50 represen-tation of women and men will be given preference, and each project must at least justify th...

A guideline for sex, gender and diversity in research projects providing guiding questions, examples and references to literature for research activities. This guideline is based on a guideline by convelop cooperative knowledge design gmbh in cooperation with Graz University of Technology (2015). It was translated and further developed for the Hum...

A Guideline on how to design a publication strategy for researchers, their sponsors, and mentors.

Workshop based on the Research Guideline (2019): "to be honest, funding opportunities changed how we apporach gender and diversity in our research."

This guideline is intended to support reviewers in considering unconscious bias and diversity management when evaluating CVs, recruiting new staff and interviewing candidates. Step-by-step suggestions and tools are provided for each level in the process to improve diversity and equality in recruiting, that is: job advertisements, interpretation of...

Working Paper zur Gestaltung von Auswahlverfahren in der Wissenschaft, insbesondere zur Identifikation des Zukunftspotenzials von „High Potentials“. Die Zusammenhänge zwischen Zukunftspotenzial-Analyse (ZPA) und Chancengleichheit werden erläutert im Kontext des gesamten Prozesses, von der Formulierung der Ausschreibung bis zur Entscheidung. Dabei w...

Die Einführung „Was ist Mentoring?“ gibt einen kurzen Überblick, was unter Mentoring zu verstehen ist. Gemeinsamkeiten zu Coaching und Beratung werden erläutert, da MentorInnen viele Instrumente aus dem Coaching anwenden können, wie beispielsweise Leitfragen für die Gesprächsführung, die in diesem Handbuch vorgestellt werden. Das Kapitel „Warum sol...

Today, academic spin-offs are a key component of an effective knowledge and technology transfer between science and industry. A central role in the Austrian research landscape in the area of innovative start-ups from an academic background since 2001 is taken on by the program Academia plus Business (AplusB). In the course of this evaluation, the A...

UNTER WELCHEN RAHMENBEDINGUNGEN KÖNNEN EVALUIERUNGEN ZU VERÄNDERUNGEN BEITRAGEN? Programme und Maßnahmen sind Ergebnisse eines komplexen Zusammenwirkens politischen Handelns. Sie entstehen in einem funktional differenzierten Netzwerk und werden in diesem Netz-werk umgesetzt. Evaluierungen (im Folgenden auch: EV) werden demnach durch unterschiedlich...

The management of protected areas has recently emerged as a new scientific discipline. To date, there is a lack of systematic and theoretical background. This study explored this vast field by combining different disciplines in an inter- and transdisciplinary approach. Taking two existing Austrian biosphere reserves (Grosses Walsertal BR, Wienerwal...

p>Das Ziel der Evaluierung der Programme Hertha Firnberg und Elise Richter des österreichischen Wissenschaftsfonds FWF ist die kritische Würdigung der Programme. Der Schwerpunkt liegt auf der Analyse von Effekten und Wirkungen der Programme: Neben den Wirkungen auf die geförderten Wissenschaftlerinnen (Mikroebene) liegt damit der Fokus auf der Frag...

The establishment as well as the management of a Biosphere Reserve (BR) can be understood as a permanent intervention to promote regional change management towards sustainability. These long-term processes need a proper theoreticalbase, concise tools and a consistent accumulation and reflection of experiences. By example of three Austrian BRs (Vien...

Purpose – Especially at the regional level co‐operation is seen as a prerequisite for innovation and competitiveness. Hence, political interest in fostering knowledge intensive networks is high. New forms of governance and additional strategic intelligence for decision makers are requested. Thus potential of the social network analysis (SNA) is dis...

The necessity and importance of measuring intangibles has become increasingly accepted in the business, financial and academic communities as a means for a better understanding of the value creation processes in private, public and not-for-profit enterprises. Intangible indicators are seen as idiosyncratic, unique to each enterprise and not standar...

Forschungsergebnisse belegen, dass Organisationen aus ihrer demografischen Heterogenität Gewinne machen können. Diese resultieren aus der großen Vielfalt an Perspektiven und Zugängen zu spezifischen Arbeitsaufgaben, die durch unterschiedliche Personen in ein System eingebracht werden (Jackson 1992, Cox 1993). Die Organisationsstrukturen sind dabei...

The goal of the present study was to develop and evaluate algorithms for non-invasive, real-time, beat-to-beat monitoring of stroke index (SI), blood pressure (BP) and total peripheral resistance index (TPRI) which has a menu-driven interface, suitable for routine use by unskilled staff. In addition, it was our aim to include a meta-analysis for th...

A variety of monitoring systems is available for special fields of clinical application and scientific research. Whenever requirements change data acquisition and handling of signal analysis have to be adapted or even completely new structured, especially in real-time applications. This can be a time consuming procedure. In order to be able to focu...

A PC-based monitoring system has been developed, which is able to acquire and analyse up to 32 physiological signals of different modality with maximum overall sample frequency of 48 kHz. New algorithms can be added and polygraphical presentation of results can be adjusted for special applications. The system was used to study noninvasively stroke...
