430 Plätze für den Alumni-Hörsaal

Einzigartige Fundraising Aktion der Uni Graz

Teil des umfassende Umbaus der Universitätsbibliothek Graz ist auch der Bau eines neuen Hörsaals. Er intensiviert die Verbindung der Uni Graz zu ihren AbsolventInnen. Dazu wurde eine österreichweit einzigartige Alumni-Fundraising-Kampagne initiiert: Entsprechend der 430-jährigen Tradition der Universität Graz können AbsolventInnen dieselbe Anzahl von Sitzplätzen stiften und sich damit für die Studierenden engagieren. InteressentInnen erwerben online um 280 Euro einen Sessel mit Namensnennung und Lieblings-Zitat und machen so den „Alumni-Hörsaal“ zu einem Ort, an dem Geschichte und Zukunft aufeinandertreffen. Mehr als 65 Sitzplätze sind bereits gestiftet. Mehr zur Kampagne unter: 430sesselfuerunigraz.at

Setback: Austria's greenhouse gas emissions rise in 2025

Climate protection is currently facing an uphill battle. The United Nations have recently been unable to agree on a roadmap for phasing out fossil fuels, even though global warming continues to accelerate. Also Austria still does not have a national climate law with a clear target path for reducing emissions. This is evidently taking its toll: Austria’s greenhouse gas emissions rose again in 2025 for the first time in years, by around two and a half percent, according to calculations by researchers at the University of Graz. In addition to overly cautious climate action measures, this is due to somewhat colder winter months compared to 2024, which are driving up natural gas consumption.
