Winners of the ORF-raffle visited the Software Competence Center Hagenberg where they could get interesting insights into the world of research. This event took place within the framework of the Upper Austrian female researcher award.

What does a researcher do?

The schoolgirls learned at the SCCH how creative ideas from mathematics and informatics are used for innovative research projects. CEO, Dr. Klaus Pirklbauer described how companies can cooperate with a research center and how innovation will be pushed. Dr. Bernhard Moser, area manager of Knowledge-Based Technology (KBT) explained how large amounts of data and information will be processed and interpreted. In the KBT laboratory researcher presented the fields of application and that such technologies can be used for the analysis of textures or for object recognition.



Dr. Klaus Pirklbauer showed the research areas of the SCCH.



The KBT team explained how the automatic surface inspections works
