I am a technical generalist with substantial know-how in electronics, mechatronics, IT and energy. I was working for different organisations in different positions (software developer, project manager, area manager). During my last work contract at CATT I was the official contact for the Upper Austrian R&D-funding program and representative of the national FFG-support-network for European R&D-programs. In particular I was responsible for the specific programs NMP (nanotechnology) and ICT (information technology) of the 6. and 7. Framework Program.

That is why I have very good contacts to all areas of FFG (Austrian Research Promotion Agency), especially to the department of "European and International Programs".

From different workshops, seminars and other events I have good contacts to AWSG (Austria Economy Services Ltd.), diverse representatives of the government of Upper Austria and regional organisations (e.g. TMG - Upper Austria´s location and innovation agency, Clusterland, CATT).
