Already 5th edition of the research magazine 160 im Quadrat

27 Nov 2024 - Neue Publikation
The three institutions of higher education in Liechtenstein – the Liechtenstein Institute, the Private University in the Principality of Liechtenstein (UFL) and the University of Liechtenstein – are presenting their diverse activities and research areas in their joint magazine for the fifth time. The current issue of the research magazine 160 im Quadrat is dedicated to artificial intelligence.

AI is shaping more and more areas of our lives and is one of the most exciting and controversial topics of our time. This is also evident in this year’s issue of the magazine with articles on the application of AI in the fields of medicine, law, business and architecture. The focus is not only on the opportunities offered by AI, but also on the challenges that arise in connection with its regulation, for example.

The majority of the articles are directly linked to the research activities at the three institutions. The articles underline the high relevance of research for Liechtenstein’s economy and society. However, they also demonstrate the spirit of innovation as well as the international networking and appeal of Liechtenstein as a center of science. The spectrum ranges from medical science research projects, economics and architecture to political science, history and law. The astonishing breadth of this diversity of topics can be read in the research magazine, which is distributed to all households in Liechtenstein.

“The magazine provides an easy-to-understand overview of important scientific activities that we carry out with great enthusiasm on a daily basis. Liechtenstein can be proud of its researchers: The quality of our work can be measured against international standards,” elaborates Prof. Dr. Thomas Meier, Director of the Liechtenstein Institute.

Dr. Barbara Gant, Rector of the Private University in the Principality of Liechtenstein, also emphasizes: “This year’s research magazine shows the bridge between global research and local needs. It is a living testimony to how science in Liechtenstein not only seeks answers to pressing questions of our time, but also provides concrete impetus for the country and society.”

Dr. Christian Frommelt, Rector of the University of Liechtenstein, is convinced: “The magazine strengthens cooperation between the participating institutions and their employees and raises the profile of Liechtenstein as a science location both at home and abroad. The most important thing for me, however, is that the fifth edition of the magazine also contains many exciting and informative texts and thus offers interesting and entertaining reading for a broad readership.”
