Tina Ortner is a Researcher at the Center of Excellence Medical Engineering within the University of Applied Sciences Upper Austria, specifically affiliated with the TIMed Center. She has been actively involved in research projects since 2009, with 14 completed projects and 30 research outputs spanning digital government, youth work, aging research, and sustainable energy solutions.

Her research interests focus on practical applications of technology in public administration, particularly in municipal services and digital transformation. Ortner's work bridges technology implementation with social outcomes, examining how digital solutions can improve public services while addressing challenges in youth engagement, elderly care, and sustainable development. Her research demonstrates strong interdisciplinary connections between engineering solutions and social policy implementation.

Ortner's publication record shows consistent output since 2011, with recent emphasis on digital government handbooks and youth empowerment programs. Her work frequently addresses practical implementation challenges in Southeastern Europe and Austrian contexts, focusing on measurable outcomes and good practices that can be replicated across municipalities.

As a Co-Investigator on numerous research projects, Ortner has collaborated with various institutions across Europe on initiatives including digital government for green municipalities, youth work practices, social programs for Linz, and global aging research. Her work demonstrates strong engagement with practical policy implementation and evaluation of real-world social interventions.

Ortner maintains an active research profile with recent presentations on web-based learning courses, social programs for Linz, and AAL (Ambient Assisted Living) technologies. Her research approach emphasizes empirical evidence and practical application of findings to improve municipal services and social outcomes.
