Im Projekt chAnGE werden die Zusammenhänge von Klimaveränderungen und der Gesundheit von älteren Personen näher beleuchtet und gemeinsam mit Gesundheitsdiensteanbieter*innen (z. B. DGKPs oder Pflegehelfer*innen) wird an einem Weiterbildungskonzept gearbeitet, um zukünftig im Job besser darauf reagieren zu können. Die entwickelten Inhalte werden in Microcredentials aufbereitet, die durch innovative digitale Lehr- und Lernkonzepte unterstützt werden, was neben fachlich korrekten Inhalten auch Spaß an der digitalen Weiterbildung ermöglichen soll. Im Projekt unter der Leitung des University College Cork arbeiten im transdisziplinären Team Hochschulen, Pflegedienstleiter*innen, Krankenhausbetreiber*innen und Berufsbildungseinrichtungen gemeinsam, um ein breites Angebot zu entwickeln, das mittels partizipativer Methoden in unterschiedlichen Ländern erarbeitet wird.

COVID-induced lockdowns have exacerbated existing socioeconomic challenges, above all in the tourism sector, which accounts for 10% of the EU’s GDP and 10% employment. Indeed, the sector’s international GDP has fallen by over 49% and an 18.5% loss in tourism jobs in 2020 (WTTC, 2021). Such lockdowns have also affected work-life, leisure and recreational patterns, bringing about significant changes to daily routines and a need to adapt economic systems. If positive changes cannot be found to innovate work models and welfare, and increased adoption of CSR initiatives, adaptations can result in negative health and well-being impacts on people (Heller and Richter, 2020). In addition, climate crisis sensitivity, and growing demand for sustainability in nature, is putting high pressure on tourist destinations not to return to „business as usual".
These combined aspects represent a clear opportunity to rethink tourism trends to improve Sustainable Tourism Destination Management (STDM), and focus on emerging demands, such as labour welfare and health and well-being nature, in line with a just transition.
The WeNaTour alliance aims to increase the capacity of HEIs, VETs and business to integrate research results, innovative practice and digitalisation into a high-quality educational offer to support the creation of new products, services, entrepreneurial ventures and jobs in STDM while focusing on concrete approaches to supporting sustainability in destinations, as well as on two promising emerging markets: (1) labor welfare, and (2) health and well-being in nature. It will do so by facilitating the co-creation of knowledge and multidisciplinary approaches to teaching among an EU network of HEIs, VET and businesses active in sustainable tourism in Italy, Romania, Austria, Ireland, and Germany and the Netherlands; while aiming to deliver a global set of blended trainings providing relevant skills to operators, destinations, agencies and professionals.

Internationalization and sustainability are growing missions of Higher Education institutions (HEIs) worldwide aimed to promote a high
quality and interconnected academic system responding to the emerging global challenges and the training needs of the new
students’generation.
The “Sustainability and Internationalization capacities to promote modernisation of Newcomers Higher Education in Neighbourhood East
Countries” (SIN-NEC) project addresses the need to enhance sustainability and internationalization competences of less-experienced,
newcomers Armenian (AM) and Ukrainian (UA) Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) with the support of 3 EU partners (2 HEIs, 1 private
company) and 1 experienced AM HEI.
To fulfill this goal, the project, after a comprehensive self-assessment, will build capacities of academics, managers and administrative staff
on planning and development of strategies and action plans towards internationalization and sustainability. The project will upskill
teachers on teaching and training on innovative pedagogics and digital tools in virtual environments to enhance their internationalization
potential. Training will be addressed to sustainability and sustainable entrepreneurship that will be used to develop and pilot new modules.
Main project results:
-Enhanced capabilities of the 7 newcomer and less-experienced HEIs that will be exploited in modern strategic plans and actions on
internationalisation and sustainability
-Upskilled teachers on new teaching methodologies, language strategy, heterogeneous learner management, Virtual Exchange, and
sustainability
-Modernization of equipment and software of AM and UA universities to support internationalization and virtual exchanges
The interconnected SIN-NEC activities by knowledge transfer and best practices exchange will promote the internationalisation the
newcomers HEIs and enhance the awareness on sustainability aspects that could be used as a model to be further exploited in other
environments

An essential basis for the implementation of the EEC project was the availability of highly qualified professionals who could develop, operate, and maintain the relevant production, manufacturing, and logistics technologies. The ETAT project aimed to create exemplary Education & Training Centers in the field of engineering education at selected EEC universities that were suitable education hubs in the region to support industry-related education and training for engineers and young specialists. It aimed to achieve the following objectives: modernization of higher education in Thailand based on the experience of EU countries; increasing the employment rate of university graduates and implementing the concept of LLL with the help of training in Automation 4.0; development of partnerships with enterprises; improving the quality and relevance of higher education in Thailand in Automation 4.0; establishment of 6 certified ETAT Training Centers at Thai universities, which were equipped with 24 special training places (4 ETAT Smart Labs per university); Establishment of a platform for distance learning and cooperation for providing e-learning and for the exchange of didactical documents and information. ETAT Training Centers were provided with teaching materials and certified courses for different target groups (students, employees, post-graduates) as well as with the Thai trainers trained by EU partners. Carinthia University of Applied Sciences was the coordinator of this project.

The lead partner Deggendorf Institute of Technology will together with Carinthia University of Applied Sciences, Dublin City University and Diakonia from Finnland work on a curriculum to develop a full-online master program to teach interdisciplinary skills in mental health, wellbeing, technology, law and ethics to develop, deploy, and apply digital technologies for integration into healthcare and welfare services.

Mit dem „Erasmus+"-Projekt TOBP (Transcultural Open Badge Platform for Migrant’s Transition Mentoring in EARLY LIFE FAMILY CARE) wurde der FH Kärnten erstmals als Koordinator ein Projekt in diesem EU-Call bewilligt. Das Projekt befasst sich mit der fehlenden Anerkennung ausländischer formaler wie informeller Qualifikationen als einem der zentralen Migrationsthemen in den postindustriellen Gesellschaften des 21. Jahrhunderts (UN 2016). Erstmals wurden so neue Standards für die Anerkennung von Fähigkeiten von Migrant*innen im Bereich „Frühe Hilfen" (Early Life Family Care, ELFC) entwickelt, indem „Open Badges" als flexibles und dabei sichtbares Anerkennungssystem genutzt wurde. Ziel war, ein neues Berufsprofil, den sogenannten Transition Mentor, zu etablieren. Das Projekt wurde in fünf Ländern – neben Österreich auch in Finnland, Deutschland, Kosovo und der Schweiz – umgesetzt. In jedem Land arbeiteten Hochschulen und Forschungseinrichtungen eng mit Praxispartner*innen aus den Bereichen Frühe Hilfen, Sozial- und Gesundheitsfürsorge, IT und Netzwerken zusammen. Die FH Kärnten ist Leadpartner.

This project began considering that internationalization can be tackled as a managerial issue that touches the structural functional domains of an organization. Conceptualizing internationalisation as an organizational change process is a necessary fi rst step toward successfully ingraining international dimensions into core functions of higher education institutions. The key deliverable of the project represents an internationalization Management model to be implemented, in partner Universities and able to be later used by other Universities. The model aims to improve governance procedures to promote and enhance internationalization within university hierarchy, set guidelines to establish appropriate legal framework, and create the required infrastructure for the implementation of internationalization. The model will include principles, priorities, a series of guidelines and procedures. The model will be in line with international norms and expectations particulary Bologna Process.

The proposed project will combine the research interests of two curricula in the faculty Engineering & IT of FH-Kärnten/Carinthia University of Applied Sciences: ISCD – Integrated Systems and Circuits Design and Health Care IT (HC IT). The project is part of the R&D strategies of both curricula and also fully in line with the long term R&D strategy of FH-Kärnten (development of sustainable technologies). ISCD researchers [1-3] have been working on a cooperative project (COSMOS, 4/2011 – 3/2013) to develop an innovative integrated color sensor. Health Care IT researchers are working on themes of ambient-assisted living and are focusing on the development of mobile supported devices, tele-monitoring, home-based training systems to improve physical fitness, methods to support rehabilitation activities, etc. Of special interest is the development of non-invasive medical home appliances, which require a high level of miniaturization and/or integration.

SCALA bezieht sich auf die Entwicklung eines gemeinsamen Software- Standards, den sogenannten "Convergence Layer". Diese Software Applikation hat die Aufgabe, die vorhandenen Systeme zur Erfassung der örtlichen Position zu einer gemeinsamen Anwendung zusammen zu fassen um damit dann eine Applikation zu erhalten, die schnell auf Kundenwünsche reagieren kann.

Through the actual implementation of on-line courses in real academic environments, we have been able to develop Moodle as an on-line platform to assist English language instructors at the company Globeskills, especially in the fields of Medical English and Technical English instruction. Multimedia (video and audio files) assignments, forums, on-line quizzes and tests, course administration of participants, interactive ad-hoc communication between instructors and students were primary examples of implementing this Blended Learning teaching approach.

Each Moodle web page contains a number of embedded links that allow both students as well as lecturers/administrators to easily navigate between the many functions and layers of the platform. This increases the ease of learning the new system and user acceptance of the platform. The experience gained in developing this platform and testing in real-life educational environments has been transferred to GlobeSkills by working closely with the company over the period of the project.

Additional testing is still required in establishing e-mail notification, instant messenger and chat platforms as well as fixing server bugs in terms of course back-ups and importing existing courses and corrected and identifying errors resulted in the imports.

The on-line courses and server structure have been mirrored and implemented on a laptop provided by the company Globeskills for displaying the functionalities of Moodle to potential clients as well as for training purposes.

Die Aufgaben der Notfallmedizin sind, unter Einsatz von Notarztwagen (NAW) und Notarzthelikopter (NAH), Leben zu retten und die Folgen des vorhandenen gesundheitlichen Schadens zu limitieren. Der Notarzt analysiert die Situation, entscheidet über die Methoden der Erstversorgung und wählt weitere Versorgungsschritte, sowie das Zielkrankenhaus aus. Das, aus der gesetzlichen Protokollierungspflicht (Ärztegesetz §51) momentan schriftlich erstellte, Notfallprotokoll wird meist im Anschluss an die Übergabe des Patienten an das Zielkrankenhaus verfasst. Durch die sprachliche sequentielle Informationsweitergabe wird eine optimale Vorbereitung unmöglich macht und weitere therapeutische Maßnahmen verzögert. In vielen Fällen kann daraus die Vernachlässigung der ärztlichen Protokollierpflicht und eine nachhaltige Reduktion der Behandlungsqualität des Patienten resultieren.Ziel des Carinthian Notarzt-Informationssystems (CANIS) ist die Ermöglichung und Optimierung des Informationsflusses zwischen NAW/NAH und Krankenhaus, durch die Entwicklung einer notärztlichen, mobilen und standardisierten Protokollierung aller medizinisch relevanten Ereignisse. Diese umfassen alle klinischen, von Normwerten abweichenden, Vitalparameter vor Ort und auf dem Transport zum Schockraum. CANIS nimmt Daten mittels mobilen Erfassungsgeräten (rugged tablets PC, PDA, wearable equipment mit Spracheingabe) auf und überträgt diese mittels drahtloser Kommunikation (GPRS, UMTS) an ein Verteilerzentrum, informiert das Notfallteam vor Ort über das am Besten geeignete Krankenhaus, und übermittelt die relevanten Daten an den Schockraum der medizinischen Zieleinrichtung. Dort können bereits während des Transports die erforderlichen Ressourcen vorbereitet werden: Operationssaal, Modalitäten und Ärzteteams. Eine standardisierte, offene Schnittstelle (XML, HL7) bietet die Möglichkeit der Anbindung an bestehende und klinische Systeme.
