As a real-world laboratory, the Arctic offers a unique and exciting environment for testing and operating new technologies from various fields such as industry, aviation, electrical engineering, data science, environmental engineering, journalism, design, and many more. Furthermore, the Arctic is warming three times faster than the global average, which is why field measurements as climate indicators and well-founded science communication are particularly important.
The JOANNEUM ARCTIC EXPEDITION TEAM enables students at FH JOANNEUM to implement their own ideas and use cases in a unique environment and become part of the Arctic research community.
The goal of the JOANNEUM ARCTIC EXPEDITION TEAM is to train the next generation of Arctic experts. All team members should recognize the importance of fieldwork and the value of applying the theory they have learned. This gives them a solid overview of the technology and research topics relevant to the Arctic and prepares them to independently lead future Arctic expeditions. The expedition is organized and led by the JOANNEUM ARCTIC EXPEDITION TEAM. Project managers Stefan Muckenhuber and Thomas Gölles support the JOANNEUM ARCTIC EXPEDITION TEAM at every stage of the preparations and during the expedition in the Arctic.
The JOANNEUM ARCTIC EXPEDITION TEAM combines interdisciplinary and applied research with fieldwork to collaboratively find solutions to major challenges in the Arctic (and the rest of the world).
