The aim of the project is to research the generational friendliness of a city using the city of Wiener Neustadt as a model from the perspective of both young students and older adults. A participatory and action-oriented citizen science (CS) approach will be used to generate knowledge about opportunities and barriers with regard to a generation-friendly city, while research will also be used to intervene and develop a toolkit for a generation-friendly Wiener Neustadt and teaching materials for schools on sustainable use together with the city's various stakeholders. Research will not be conducted on young people and older people, but together with them as citizen scientists as an intergenerational research process.
This research project investigates the impact of parents' social media usage on the digital wellbeing of their children, an area that has received little attention despite the central role of social media in daily life. The aim is to develop evidence-based solutions by analyzing how parents use social media and its effects on children, to promote digital wellbeing in an increasingly digital world.
‘Care about Care’ (C^C) aims to support the ecosystem of professional home care (care workers, care recipients, family and non-kin carers, home care organizations, software providers) by providing new ICT-enhanced ways of collaboration, assistance and information exchange. By developing and combining ICT-based solutions C^C intends to: (i) initiate new ways of collaboration, workflows and (remote) support to make care work more attractive, (ii) provide tools for sharing information between members of the care network and (iii) promote knowledge transfer between them. FH Wiener Neustadt is coordinating the project and leading the development of the Remote Care Assist service.

We aim to create a dementia-friendly library in collaboration with two other organizations in the community: the information service point of the city hall and the city museum. Experts from occupational therapy, health promotion and palliative care will work together with a self-help group including people living with cognitive impairment in this interdisciplinary health promotion project. The aims are to promote health and foster social participation of people with dementia and their carers as well as to contribute to de-stigmatization. Using a participatory health research design based on needs assessments will ensure sustainability.
