Research and development in the field of environmental technology

The Federal Environment Agency report describes topics and trends in environmental technology research at Austria’s universities and non-university research institutions. As a basis for this, the current R & D survey of Statistik Austria was evaluated and additional research, surveys and interviews with relevant actors in environmental technology research were carried out. After 2006 and 2009, this report now presents a further update. Compared to the 2009 report, the number of environmental R & D institutions, particularly in the higher education sector, has increased. The number of employees employed by research institutions has increased significantly during this period. R & D activities are increasingly focusing on climate protection, energy, waste and raw materials and resources.
