Dr. Ahamer was pre-Accession Advisor on air pollution to the Slovak Republic in 2000–2001 working on behalf of the European Commission’s Enlargement Directorate- General. He currently lectures on Technology Assessment, Systems Analysis, Participation of Citizens,
and Future Scenarios and Climate Models at six Austrian universities, and collaborated in setting up the “Global Studies” curriculum at Graz University. His “favorite pastime,” he claims, is the “fine art” of scenario writing for interdisciplinary and environmentally oriented global models pertaining both to land use change and energy.
