===Topic: Free period products===
====Women's bathrooms====
(Hanna C. Trenkler)
Making period products freely available in university bathrooms is crucial for several reasons. It addresses period poverty, a significant issue where individuals cannot afford menstrual hygiene products, impacting their ability to attend and engage in academic activities. Providing these products at no cost supports gender equality by acknowledging and catering to a natural need of many students. This move would alleviate financial stress for those affected by period poverty and ensure that all students have equal opportunities to participate fully in their education, promoting a more inclusive and supportive campus environment.
====Non-gendered Men's bathrooms====
(Hanna C. Trenkler)
Incorporating free period products in non-gendered and male bathrooms is a progressive step towards inclusivity and support for all students, including those who may not identify with traditional gender norms. This approach acknowledges the diversity of the student body and the fact that not all individuals who menstruate identify as female. By ensuring these essential items are available in all bathrooms, universities can create a more welcoming and equitable environment. It demonstrates a commitment to the health and dignity of all students, irrespective of their gender identity, and promotes an atmosphere of respect and understanding across the campus community.
===Topic: LGBTQIA+===
====Queer ÖH-Movie Night====
(Hanna C. Trenkler)
Organizing a movie night featuring queer movies at the university, facilitated by ÖH, would be a valuable and inclusive initiative. Such an event would celebrate and raise awareness of LGBTQ+ stories, challenges, and triumphs, fostering a culture of empathy and understanding within the student community. By highlighting diverse narratives, the movie night could help to break down stereotypes and prejudices, contributing to a more accepting and supportive campus environment. Furthermore, this event would provide a safe space for queer students to see themselves represented in media, potentially offering comfort and a sense of belonging. It would also be an educational opportunity for all students to gain insight into experiences different from their own, encouraging open dialogue and a more inclusive campus culture
====Student exhibition====
(Hanna C. Trenkler)
Hosting an exhibition of student projects that focus on LGBTQIA+ topics would be highly beneficial for the university community. It would serve as a powerful platform for students to express and explore issues related to gender and sexual diversity, showcasing their research, creativity, and perspectives. Such an exhibition would not only highlight the importance of LGBTQIA+ studies within academic discourse but also foster a sense of pride and recognition for the work done by students in this area.
Moreover, this initiative could educate and sensitize the wider university population to the nuances and complexities of LGBTQIA+ experiences, promoting inclusivity and understanding. It would encourage dialogue among students, faculty, and staff, creating opportunities for learning and engagement beyond traditional classroom settings. Additionally, this exhibition could strengthen the university's reputation as a progressive institution that values diversity and supports its LGBTQIA+ community, making the campus a more welcoming place for everyone.

===Communication channel for announcements===
'''(Elias Reich & Group)'''
No matter the project or problem you tackle, no matter how good your solution, in the end there needs to be promotion.
There somewhat already exist such promotion and communication channels, but those are lacking. Either cluttered and not structured like e-mail, inconvenient to navigate like the website or exclusive to degrees or years like discord.
For communicating event dates or club's meeting times there should be a seperate website. It best be linked on the FH online landing page, which all student and professsor use on a daily basis. A moderated, but otherwise free to edit, time tabel to track events would be the main focus of the website.
Another form of communication that could be improved on is offline communication. Flyers or posters are very underutilized at the FH. Simply talking to students (which would be easy, considering the topic) or professors making a quick announcement at the beginning or end of a class would be a more budget and enviormentaly friendly solutions. Offline announcements are also neccessary to spread awareness of this new online tool.
===(Pop-Up) Events at campus===
'''(Lena Pattis & Nina Stojakovic & Group)'''
There is often a lack of connections between Students from different courses. Campus Culture and interdisciplinary connectivity can only develop through shared activities on campus. Existing events, like parties, tend to be a good option for students to meet for the first time but smaller events targeted at special interests are more likely to help develop deeper and long-lasting relationships between the students.
Pop-Up Events can also be helpful for students to get out of their comfort zone or get experiences outside of their bubble, which will broaden their horizon.
Besides regular events initiated by UIF, we want to emphasise the possibility for students to set up their own events according to their interests and offer them help by getting them on their way.
Our suggestions for events: Board Games (spontaneous or themed evenings), Book Club, Clothes Swap Party or flea market, Sport events (organised tournaments), Jam Sessions, hiking excursions.
===Multi-purpose room on campus===
'''(Christian Weiß & Group)'''<br />What is needed at the FH Salzburg is a room that allows students to do whatever students like to do. A room where they can study, chill, play games, and have lunch, all in one place. A room that is accessible anytime. No need for reservation, students are always welcome. No more separation of departments. Here all students from all courses of studies get together.
The Multi-purpose Room should be comfortable too, containing sofas and stools and the interior should be modular to change the setting easily.
===Brandbuilding for Campus culture===
[[File:WhatsApp Image 2022-09-29 at 11.50.20 AM (1).jpg|thumb|Get2 Initiative Logo. By Konsti K.|link=Special:FilePath/WhatsApp_Image_2022-09-29_at_11.50.20_AM_(1).jpg]]
'''(Konstantin Kowarsch, Daria Kolosovskaia & Group)'''Having many ideas is a good way to start a project. Having a roof above all these ideas to combine and connect different perspectives is a good way to continue with a project. We decided to give our ideas a name. The "GET2-Inititative". Get2 gether. Get2 meet new friends for life. Get2 create a bookclub. Get2 Whatever you want it to be.
Where and how? This project will also open the door to include a Get2-Room (above) and informational support for the students.
Implementing GET2-Inititative we will be able to pitch our vision with a clear line. It will also ensure visibility for our ideas throughout the whole campus.
On one hand, students will know the brand and what is behind it, share it with others, raising this awareness.
On the other hand, with this brand we will try to bring the stakeholders of University of Applied Sciences in Salzburg onboard.
All in all, this branding can become a visualisation of extracurricular activities on campus. Via “GET2-Inititative" a campus opportunities and atmosphere can be promoted for new/incoming students. Which will beneficial for all: new students, current fellows, and stakeholders.<br />
=Cohort of 2021=
:At the Campus Kuchl is a necessity for a place for students to store bikes near the Matdador dormitory. A possible and unused location is available at the Matador-Dormitory. The main problem is communication. We as UIF act as a intermediary between considered parties, and show up students needs. Backed up by a petition and collected signatures. Further a cooperation with a university startup and bicycle stand manufacturer, called [https://www.velovio.com/ velovio], is considered.

====FH Salzburg Wiki Page====
=Cohort of 2020=
===Managed MS Teams Group ===
'''(Lionel Asshauer & Group)'''
In addition to classes the Teams platform offers the potential to become a central hub for information about whats going on in the school, like event information, publication of opening times, news, etc. in addition to links apartment & job exchange. As everybody is already using the platform for their classes, all the information is just one click away, making it easier to connect with each other.
===Information Messaging Service ===
'''(Heiko Lehrer & Group)'''
For example, there would be a newsletter concerning exams. By subscribing to this newsletter, students will be informed if a test is coming up. Of course, this service is continuously enhanceable (generate new newsletters aso.).
===Freshmen Onboarding ===
'''(Andreas Golser, Julia Armstorfer & Group)'''
„Freshman Onboarding“ should support new students to find their way into university life. The aim is to give the newcomers advice on how to organize their studies, to inform them about existing events and groups and show them that students at the Salzburg University of Applied Sciences have a space for innovation.

===Event Information Page ===
[[File:Version 2.png|thumb|link=Special:FilePath/Version_2.png]]
The account welcome page of every student at FH Salzburg looks the same: you can check your emails, class schedules etc. as well as having a look at university news. Unfortunately the news which are displayed there aren't updated regularly (last update was about a year ago). So we thought it would be a great idea to optimally use that space with event invitations, guest lectures, information about the university etc. which is visible to everybody and all students, as well as staff, have an insight of what is going on.

===FH Challenges ===
'''(Nora Bendl, Julia Brunhuber, Cosima Decho, Christiane Koch, Eva-Maria Kremser, Maximilian Lugmair, David Pollhammer)'''
The FH Salzburg hosts an event called "Robothon" annualy, which is all about programming a robot within 24-hours. Our cohort thinks this is a really great event but wouldn't it be cool, if there would be something alike which isn't just for students who are able to program? So we came up with the idea to host the FH challenge, which is open to any student from any study program of the FH and the theme could e.g. be Innovations in the healthcare sector, where not only specialists from those study programs are needed, but as well as programers, project managers and so many more. The goal of the challenge is to finish up that project with the team within a given time of days/hours and the team with the most innovative idea will win a prize.
==='''Environment + Health''' ===
'''(Christiane Koch, Eva-Maria Kremser, Maximilian Lugmair)'''
Our university has around 2.700 students, which means a lot of people who produce a lot of waste every day. Since all over the campus garbage isn't separated at all, we started with a prototype of our own reciycling system. Our aim is to raise students' awereness and make our university a better and more environmently friendly place.

==='''Mentoring ''' ===
'''(Lara Goritschnig) '''[[File:Mentoring.jpg|thumb|right|200px|link=Special:FilePath/Mentoring.jpg]]
At first we could try to find teachers or stakeholders who specialise in this area so eg. our faculty champions or the ÖH FH Salzburg (student representation) and the facility manager who could tell us which rooms are available. And we have to find out how we could give the „mentors“ a reason to take part at this program - so e.g. with a certificate or a recommendation. Another thing to consider is the system how to connect the mentors and the mentorees per coincidence.
