Jeden Dienstag um 10.00 gibt es auf Radio NJOY 91.3 die Sendung „Wissenschaftsradio – Wissenschaft einfach erklärt“ zu hören. Am 29.10.2019 gab es eine besonders spannende Folge: Fünf JungforscherInnen wurde eine Plattform gegeben ihre Forschung live im Radio vorzustellen.
Der Haken: Sie hatten dafür nur 90 Sekunden lang Zeit.
Der beste Pitch wurde von Wissenschaftsjournalist und ORF3-Moderator Andreas Jäger ausgewählt und darf zum „Science Talk“ ins Wissenschaftsministerium.
Unsere Forschung zu nachhaltigen, temporären Wohnformen wurde von Julia Zeilinger präsentiert. Auch wenn es leider knapp nicht für den Sieg gereicht hat, hat sie das Projekt „Pop-up housing“ doch würdig vertreten.
The Circular Economy Coalition for Europe
(CEC4Europe) is a growing initiative of researchers with long-term experience
in the field of waste and resource management aiming to facilitate the
transition from a linear to a circular economy in Europe.
To mark four years of existence, the CEC4Europe
invited to the Symposium “Science and Research for Circular Economy” on October
24th, 2019 in Vienna. The symposium was hosted by Prof. Martin
Faulstich, head of INZIN Institute (Institut für die Zukunft der
Industriegesellschaft – Institute for the Future of Industrial Society) and
former chairman of the German Advisory Council on the Environment.
Researchers of different Universities in
Austria and Germany were invited to present current research activities to
interested representatives of the scientific community, personnel in research
and development as well as representatives of ministries.
Julia Zeilinger gave insights into the research
project and preliminary research results with her presentation on “Urban pop-up
housing environments – Überlegungen zur Kreislauffähigkeit von temporären
Wohnformen” and appreciated the opportunity for discussions and exchange of
expertise with the diverse audience.

Every two years, the so-called Sardinia Symposium, organized by the IWWG (International Waste Working Group) takes place in the beautifully located Forte Village Resort in Santa Margherita di Pula (Cagliari), Italy. The symposium offers a welcome opportunity for representatives of waste management to get together, learn about new findings and current research activities and discuss future developments in the sector. The conference was attended by 675 international participants (researchers, technicians, administrators and operators) and focused on the advances of waste management science and technology, presenting case studies, and sharing experiences among different countries.
“Pop-Up Environments” was presented by Julia Zeilinger (Institute of Waste Management) during the session “Waste management in urban and peri-urban areas”. In her presentation titled “Sustainable temporary housing in urban areas – The role of waste & resource management”, she presented some examples of selected types of temporary housing facilities and discussed the prevalent waste and resource management considerations.
Julia’s participation at the conference was kindly facilitated by a travel subsidy of the Doctorate School Transitions to Sustainability (T2S) at BOKU University, of which she has been a doctoral candidate since 2018.
