Stanzas, jingles and songs set the rhythm

Professor Kuno Schedler runs the Institute for Systemic Management and Public Governance at the HSG. The business economist conducts research in the public administration of the future under the heading of Smart Government and analyses control systems in the boardroom. In his spare time, rhythmical verses set the tone: during St.Gallen’s carnival, Kuno Schedler tours the city’s watering holes as part of the satirical Schnitzelbank ditty duo Gallyriker; as a songwriter, he gives his thoughts artistic expression.

Monitoring climate pollutants from space

Global CO2 emissions are a blind spot on the data map. The HSG research team led by Prof. Damian Borth and Dr. Michael Mommert wants to change that. Using satellite images, they will soon be able to locate all fossil fuel power plants worldwide in order to track down pollutant emitters. Using artificial intelligence, the researchers will evaluate the data and determine where and how much CO2 is emitted and who has to compensate for the pollutants.

Consequences of the pandemic: 30 million less value created by the HSG in the canton

In late May, the University of St.Gallen (HSG) published a study of its regional impact for the seventh time. The study showed that the HSG’s 2019 value creation for the Canton of St.Gallen amounted to CHF 276.5m. Now, a special evaluation of the monetary effects of 2020 reveals the consequences of Covid-10: within a year, the HSG’s monetary value creation dropped by just over CHF 30m, to CHF 246m. The main cause is constituted by the lower purchasing power effects of the students, who were not on site owing to distance learning. The evaluation is an impressive demonstration of the possible consequences for the canton if the principle of the “classroom university” were to be abandoned.
