30 years after Srebrenica: Heike Karge supports forces for reconciliation
This year marks the thirtieth anniversary of the Srebrenica massacre in Bosnia. To this day, Serbia and the Republika Srpska refuse to characterise the killing of more than 8,000 Bosnian Muslims as genocide. Those in power lack the will to come to terms with the atrocities. There is hope from strong forces in civil society who want to make a process of reconciliation possible by documenting war crimes across national and ethnic boundaries. Heike Karge, Professor of Southeast European History at the University of Graz, supports them in joint research projects, among other things.

Signals from the roots: how the plant hormone cytokinin influences flowering
Many do it in spring, others wait a little longer and some really get going in winter – when a plant begins to flower is controlled by various internal and external signals. In a study published in the renowned scientific journal Plant Physiology, researchers at the University of Graz were able to clarify the role played by the hormone cytokinin in this process. The findings are also interesting with regard to the breeding of crops for agriculture. In view of changing climatic conditions, adjustments to the start of flowering could help to secure yields.
