Carinthia University of Applied Science, CUAS (Austria)

CUAS is a small university in the south of Austria. The School of Systems Engineering in Villach is one of the four locations of the university. The study programs have been established in accordance with the demands of industry and economy and are therefore designed to provide students with fundamental scientific as well as specific vocational training. Teaching is performed in small groups, which also contributes to the effectiveness of the courses. Moreover, the school offers evening study programs for working students. 

Therefore, CUAS is involved in several projects on eLearning. The institute's research focus is on applied research and development in the areas of microelectronic, systems integration, and Technology Enhanced Learning (Center of Competence “Online Laboratories"). The team was involved in numerous national and EU funded projects in the field of Online Labs and offers expertise especially in the field of hybrid online laboratories, ontologies for online laboratories and semantic repositories for learning resources.

Within the Go-Lab project the team of CUAS contributes especially to the Go-Lab Infrastructure (WP4), Go-Lab Portal (WP5), Community building and Support (WP6), as well as Dissemination and Exploitation (WP9). CUAS will act as National Coordinator of the project’s implementation in Austria.
