Gerald Haider vom Einsatzkommando Cobra war zu Gast im Politik Café

In Österreich herrscht ausgewogenes Sicherheitsbedürfnis – so die Conclusio des Politik Café am 14. November 2018. Das Einsatzkommando Cobra stand im Mittelpunkt einer weiteren Ausgabe der Diskussionsreihe. Und Rechtswissenschafter Markus Steppan hatte dazu einen profunden Kenner eingeladen: Oberst Gerald Haider, der in der „Eliteeinheit“ der Polizei das Stabsreferat für internationale Angelegenheiten und Kooperationen, Controlling und Öffentlichkeitsarbeit leitet.

Haider vermittelte anschauliche Einblicke hinter die Kulissen des Kommandos, das dann gefragt ist, wenn es um „brenzlige“ Fälle aller Art geht. Neben insgesamt 5000 unterschiedlichen Einsätzen pro Jahr gäbe es auch grenzüberschreitende Hilfe. „Das trägt den europäischen Gedanken mit“, so Haider. Zusätzlich zu den fachlichen und körperlichen Voraussetzungen brauche es bei Einsätzen das nötige „Fingerspitzengfühl“. 

Wie korrupt ist Österreich? Ein weiteres brisantes Thema, das die nächste Ausgabe des Politik Café am 23. Jänner 2019, wieder um 19:30 Uhr, im Café Promenade behandelt. Zu Gast ist Bettina Knötzl, Beiratspräsidentin von Transparency International. 

Der Eintritt ist wieder frei, um Anmeldung wird gebeten:

E-Mail: sieben@uni-graz.at

Mit der Anmeldung ist keine Platzreservierung verbunden.

Die Reihe „Politik Café“ ist Teil der 7. fakultät, des Zentrums für Gesellschaft, Wissen und Kommunikation der Uni Graz.

Desert sand, microplastics, cancer cells: David Clases awarded ERC grant for analytical method

Nanoparticles trapped in polar ice can reveal a great deal about the climate 100,000 years ago. Chemist David Clases is developing unique methods to analyse them in detail. He will now adapt these methods for use with larger particles in order to glean even more information about Earth’s history. The method can be used for a wide range of other purposes – for example, in medical diagnostics or the investigation of environmental pollution. Clases has been awarded a Proof-of-Concept Grant by the European Research Council (ERC) for this work.

Staying fit during the holidays: summer sports on the University of Graz campus

The Kleeblattlauf is not the end of the fitness term. Following last year’s successful launch, the University of Graz is once again offering summer sports on campus this year. From 30 June to 16 July 2026, there will be a free exercise programme in the open air. On the shady Südwiese (between the main building and Universitätsplatz 2), anyone interested can get in shape in the afternoons with body workouts, fascia training and yoga.

Getting even hotter: Researchers predict global warming of 1.7 degrees by 2027

While Europe is currently sweltering in the heat, global temperatures are also rising towards concerning record levels. In 2026, Earth’s surface air temperature is expected to reach 1.62 degrees, and in 2027 even 1.71 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels. The long-term temperature rise – an average over a 20-year period – is predicted to exceed the 1.5-degree threshold of the Paris Agreement as of 2026 already. For the first time, researchers at the University of Graz have been able to make such a forecast so far in advance. The intensifying El Niño climate event favors forecast skill and thereby facilitates a reliable computation.
