Competence Map

As the network of Austria's climate researchers, CCCA is home to hundreds of individuals, each with their own areas of expertise and competences. Knowing who works where, on what topics, and in what capacity is a key building block for the work of CCCA and its members. To make the best use of this knowledge about your competences, the CCCA service centre has developed the Competence Map. Based on the information you provide about your research fields and competences, a profile is created for you, which you can update or delete at any time.

CCCA uses your input solely to identify you as an expert when enquiries arise and to be able to contact you directly. The more precisely you share your competences and areas of activity with us, the better you can be represented.

Where do I create a profile?

Registration in the Competence Map: employees of CCCA member organisations or

The following criteria:

  • The person must be working in a relevant professional organisation or institution
  • The person should have the goal of being recognised and acting as an expert from an administrative perspective
  • Any expenses or other costs incurred are to be covered by the individual themselves

CCCA reserves the right to reject a profile from non-members or decline to make it public without giving reasons.

Why?

The demand for data, information, and advisory services around the topic of "climate change — causes and impacts" is currently growing rapidly worldwide. Building on this, more and more institutions are emerging that engage with this subject and offer products and services to a wide range of users. 

A competence map of climate impact research in Austria is intended, on the one hand, to serve as a foundation for CCCA's networking activities and, on the other, to be directly usable as an information tool for members. In this sense, it should be seen as an internal instrument of the CCCA network. The Competence Map is built around the personal competences of researchers, but also offers the opportunity to describe research institutions and to list and link to current research projects. In line with this objective, it is necessary both to ensure that all members' competences are kept up to date in the database, and to make sure the implementation is user-friendly.

The listed scientific disciplines are subject to the FWF's categorisation system. The areas of expertise given within the human–environment system are based on the categorisations of GeoSphere Austria.
