alpS GmbH is owned by the University of Innsbruck, Johann Stötter and the two managing directors Daniela Hohenwallner-Ries and Klaus Schneeberger.

Our history

• Foundation: December 2002 with a focus on the development, management and sponsorship of a competence centre (Kplus, COMET) and the handling of projects.
• Expansion: Parallel to the work in the competence centre, two further business areas developed:
  • Scientific third-party funded projects: Acquisition and processing.
  • Services: Consulting and planning based on the expertise gained from research projects at the Competence Centre.
• Restructuring: Since April 2018, after the end of the COMET funding period, the centre has been divided into two legally independent but closely related units:
  • alpS GmbH: Consulting company.
  • alpS Research: Independent research group at the Institute of Geography at the University of Innsbruck.
