Software for an innovative wearable that could optimise the collection of data in psychological studies is being developed by researchers at KL University. The device will be tested on around 150 subjects as part of an investigation entitled ‘Laughter in everyday life’*, a project which is funded by the FWF. The advantage of the wearable – in this case an armband – is that it can be quickly accessed to record data and is simple to operate. These advantages will come into their own in psychological studies that use the experience sampling method, where subjects are required to record everyday experiences. In the past, written records or smartphones have been used for data collection, but this can result in distortion of the findings.

How satisfied are you in your current main study programme? And how ’studyable’ is it from your point of view?

Every two years, all levels of the ÖH are re-elected by the students. At the ÖH-election, the students decide in a democratic way, by whom they will be represented in the university students' union within the next two years. In May 2017 it is time again: You can choose your representation and thus your interest weight.

From 29th to 30th March 2019 the international Skillslab Symposium (ISLS) at the Medical University Brandenburg focused on the teaching of different medical skills.

At the beginning of March, the Department of Physiology started at the KL with the Professor of Physiology, Dr. Gerald Obermair.

The Karl Landsteiner University has changed two of its four partners: New members are MedAustron and the Province of Lower Austria.

Starting with the summer semester 2019 a new cooperation with the Hilfswerk Krems offers free initial psychological advice for KL students directly at Karl Landsteiner University.

Pathologists are urgently needed in Lower Austria. There are currently 15 training places available in the provincial clinics, only five of which can be filled according to the Medical Association.

Established in 2013, Karl Landsteiner University of Health Sciences (KL) is part of a wider academic and research community based at Campus Krems, and of a network comprising teaching hospitals in St. Pölten, Krems and Tulln. The University offers degree programmes in Human Medicine, Psychotherapy and Counselling Sciences, and Psychology – all of which are significant aspects of health policy. The programmes are tailored to the requirements of the Bologna model, opening the door to new, cutting-edge health professions. KL is committed to raising its profile in specific areas of biomedicine and biopsychosocial sciences by entering into strategic academic and research partnerships with other institutions.

The university is looking to fill the following professorship at the earliest possible opportunity:

The countdown is on and it will be exciting. The deadline for submitting the 2018 Sponsorship Award of the Sparkasse Krems Private Foundation has passed. The jury of experts has now been appointed to review all submitted projects and decide on the awarding of the prizes.
