Renate Weisböck-Erdheim

Renate Weisböck-Erdheim serves as a University Assistant at the Institute for Ecomedicine, Paracelsus Medical University. Holding both Mag. (Diplom-Magister equivalent to Master's) and MBA qualifications, her work bridges environmental science and public health through empirical research on built and natural environments.

Her educational foundation includes:

• Mag. (Diplom-Magister) - Advanced Master's-level degree in Austria
• MBA - Specialized management training

Research centers on quantifiable health impacts of environmental interventions, particularly air quality management in indoor spaces and therapeutic benefits of alpine/natural settings. Her methodology emphasizes controlled observational studies and randomized clinical trials measuring physiological and psychological outcomes, with current work focusing on non-thermal plasma air purification efficacy, classroom ventilation optimization, and comparative analysis of mountain versus forest therapies.

Publication trends (2022-2025) reveal consistent focus on evidence-based environmental health solutions. Key contributions include establishing causal links between mechanical ventilation strategies and particulate matter reduction in educational settings, demonstrating infection rate reductions through advanced air purification, and quantifying mental health benefits from structured nature exposure. This work forms a cohesive framework connecting engineering solutions with public health outcomes.

No scientific awards are documented in available sources.

Grant leadership includes the HEALPS project (2018-2019) positioning the Alps as a global health destination and Trail for Health Nord (2015-2018) developing health tourism capacity. She actively organizes major conferences including the 2024 Healing Power of the Alps conference and 2016 Alpine Health Tourism Congress, facilitating knowledge exchange between researchers and industry stakeholders.

She operates within the Institute for Ecomedicine's research ecosystem, collaborating with Hartl's team on multi-disciplinary projects that integrate environmental monitoring equipment, clinical assessments, and tourism infrastructure analysis across real-world settings from classrooms to mountain trails.
