H2REAL: “Hydrogen Region East Austria goes Live”
The flagship project H2REAL (Hydrogen Region East Austria goes Live) aims to develop an integrated H2-network (a “Hydrogen Valley”) as a key enabler for hydrogen technology and applications in the eastern Austrian region. To achieve this goal, existing as well as new technologies will be integrated along the entire hydrogen value chain developing an innovative and holistic solu-tion. This will lead to major emission reductions, decarbonization of all sec-tors and cost reduction for green hydrogen.

Cluster of Excellence microPlanet: “Microbiomes Drive Planetary Health”
Our Cluster of Excellence (CoE) aims to fundamentally understand and manipulate environmental and host-associated microbiomes to benefit planetary health. By bridging the gap between traditionally separate medical and environmental microbiome research (termed red and green fields, respectively), we seek to achieve a unified approach to studying microbiomes. Our research is structured around three key areas: interactions within microbiomes, their response to perturbations, and strategies for monitoring and intervening with microbiome dynamics. Our interdisciplinary teams will conduct seven joint research projects, leveraging shared resources and methodologies to generate comparable data across medical and environmental microbiomes. This integrated effort will pioneer new methods linking genetic diversity to function, transcending traditional research boundaries from genes to ecosystems. Our goal is to establish microbiome research as a core component of planetary health science, fostering a new understanding of microbiomes’ role in mitigating global change and supporting a sustainable future.
