Masterpiece from mushroom myzel: FH graduated gains state prize!

Kuchl, Österreich - The federal government has recognized an outstanding contribution to research! The graduate of the Kuchl University of Applied Sciences, Maren Gramitzky, was awarded the State Prize of the Federal Ministry of Education, Science and Research for her pioneering master's thesis. In her work on the Department of Design and Green Engineering, specializing in wood technology and timber construction, she researched the innovative use of mushroom myzel. This natural, renewable resource could form the basis for sustainable and biodegradable products such as urns. "The price shows that the hard work was worth it," said the joyful award winner.

The young researcher remains true to the FH Kuchl. She will work as a junior research in the field of sustainable materials and technology, where she works on climate -friendly solutions together with other researchers. Your project is part of an extensive research focus that aims to develop innovative materials and technologies that counteract the challenges of climate change. Maren Gramitzky is enthusiastic and sees great potential in mushroom research, which can also be seen in the exhibition "Circular Materials" in Salzburg.

innovative fields at the University of Applied Sciences Salzburg

Another talented member of the alumni network of the Salzburg University of Applied Sciences is Daria Kolosovskaia, which entered the Faculty of Human Computer Interaction (HCI) at the Salzburg University of Applied Sciences with a bachelor's degree from Saint Petersburg and Bard College. Her experiences in the international program of the University Innovation Fellow (UIF) even took her to a workshop at Stanford University, where she gained valuable insights into design thinking. Daria is currently researching the Ludwig Boltzmann Institute for Digital Health and Prevention in Salzburg and pursues the goal of supporting people with cardiovascular diseases to increase their physical activity while writing their master's thesis. These diverse training and research experiences show the enormous potential of the Salzburg University of Applied Sciences to produce innovative heads.
