In series of the Geotechnologien programme selective projects got an additional 6-month time span and founding for further marketability developments in close collaboration with German SMBs. The alpEWAS project is one of these, emphasizing on the TDR functionality together with Plinninger Geotechnik and the Low-Cost-GNSS Application with Dr. Hesse & Partner Ingenieure. Additionally, the alpEWAS Control center will be further improved with analysis software and more added interfaces for geodetic (tacheometric) and geotechnical devices.

The second GeoTechnologien status seminar on Early Warning Systems for Natural Hazards was held at the TU München. Present project statuses, further development goals and achieved results became presented in a number of presentations and corresponding posters by each research group. Additionally, those groups working with sensor hardware had the chance to show it in a little exhibition.

At the GeoDresden a seperate session was just held for GeoTechnologien projects. Nearly 30 presentations were held and enjoyed great popularity. Link

Working at the Aggenalm test site for over two years now, it was time to articulate our explicit thanks to the municipality of Oberaudorf and the owners and residents in the Aggenalm area. The project instrumentation was shown to the municipal council and all citizens which were interested right at the alpEWAS central station. Afterwards in the Rosengasse inn a presentation of the project goals was given.

In the course if the TUM geology's master studies program one of the workshop deals with monitoring of instable slopes. In the morning some projects of the GEOTECHNOLOGIEN program are presented by their particular researchers; in the afternoon practical case studies become shown. Link
