Unesco Lehrstuhl an der FH
Unsere Mission
Exzellente Forschung und inspirierende Lernerfahrungen für Naturschutz im 21. Jahrhundert um „Persönlichkeiten, Institutionen und Gesellschaften im Management von Schutzgebieten zu unterstützen“. Dies ist der Auftrag des UNESCO Lehrstuhls für Nachhaltiges Management von Schutzgebieten an der FH Kärnten.
Der UNESCO Lehrstuhl wurde 2020 eingerichtet. Er hat sich zu einem international sichtbaren Zentrum für Exzellenz, Innovation und neue Technologien im Naturschutz entwickelt. Die Aktivitäten des Lehrstuhls basieren auf einem interdisziplinären, ganzheitlichen und integrierten Verständnis von Schutzgebieten, wie es von UNESCO-Biosphärenreservaten, UNESCO-Welterbestätten und UNESCO-Geoparks vertreten und vorgelebt wird. So werden Biodiversität, Klimaschutz und eine nachhaltige Entwicklung (SDGs) durch Forschung und Weiterbildung unterstützt.
Unesco Lehrstuhl
Der UNESCO Lehrstuhl wird von FH-Professor Michael Jungmeier geleitet. Er ist Professor für Naturschutz und Nachhaltigkeit. Er verfügt über mehr als 30 Jahre internationale Berufserfahrung im Naturschutz, insbesondere in der Planung und im Management von Schutzgebieten, wie Naturparken, Nationalparken oder Natura 2000 Gebieten.
Die UNESCO ist die Organisation der Vereinten Nationen für Bildung, Wissenschaft und Kultur. Sie hat 1992 das Programm der UNESCO-Lehrstühle ins Leben gerufen. Die Fachhochschule Kärnten ist daher ein aktives Mitglied des globalen UNITWIN/UNESCO Chairs Programms. Dieses umfasst derzeit 850 Institutionen in 117 Ländern. Wir sind stolz auf diese Partnerschaften.

Are you ready to pave the way for a greener future? At Green Transition Engineering, we believe that achieving the goals of the green transformation requires efficient and well-informed decision-making. That‘s why we emphasize the power of data in our approach. Data holds the key to understanding the current state of affairs and identifying effective sustainability measures.
With expertise in data engineering and understanding of global connections across ecological, economic, and social realms, our graduates are uniquely positioned to shape the future of sustainable development.
The bachelor degree program "Green Transition Engineering" provides a broad and application-oriented basic education in the various transition disciplines (society, economy, ecology), the basic competences in the natural sciences and their technical possibilities, digitalisation and data engineering with relevant sensor, environmental and climate data, as well as fields of application. Accordingly, the curriculum is divided into nine focus areas in which specific competences are acquired and the Bachelor Thesis for completing the studies.
- Qualification awarded: Bachelor of Science in Engineering
- ECTS: 180
- Duration: 6 semester

Educational Videos
As part of the BioMONITec project, the Management of Protected Areas research group at Carinthia University of Applied Sciences focuses on testing the latest technologies and tools in biodiversity monitoring, evaluating their applicability and comparing them with traditional methods.
The BioMONITec Configurator offers a collection of interactive online tools that are intended to assist conservationists.
Becoming proficient at identifying species requires observational skills and extensive field experience. In projects like BioMONITec, we explore how technology can assist experts to develop their capacities.
Unmanned Aerial Systems, also known as “UAS” or simply “drones” provide exciting opportunities for very flexible and fast “on-demand” monitoring of the environment.
Utilizing advanced 3D modeling techniques, we can comprehensively capture habitat features including horizontal and vertical habitat structures, terrain characteristics, biotic features, habitat complexity, and environmental disturbances.
Whether it's magnetometers for cyclists, video cameras for accurate visual counting, infrared counters for hikers, or other technology on the market, understanding and choosing the right technology for monitoring is crucial.
Environmental DNA (eDNA) can be found in the environment and extracted from a variety of media such as water, soil, or wood. Collecting eDNA from the environment and performing eDNA analysis enables determination of different organisms living in these media.
