Vorwissenschaftliche Arbeiten: MentorInnen unterstützen SchülerInnen

Zum fünften Mal öffnete die Universität Graz am 15. Februar 2019 ihre Pforten für Schüler/innen, die im Rahmen der Matura Neu ihre Vorwissenschaftlichen Arbeiten (VWA) verfassen. Sie nehmen an einem speziellen VWA-Mentoring Programm teil, einer Initiative der Geisteswissenschaftlichen Fakultät, bei der Studierende zu MentorInnen ausgebildet werden, die SchülerInnen in einer herausfordernden Zeit zur Seite stehen. 44 Studierende aus vier Fakultäten nehmen in diesem Jahr am Programm teil. Sie sind MentorInnen für 47 SchülerInnen von zehn steirischen Schulen und helfen diesen dabei Schulstress im Abschlussjahr, Matura und VWA unter einen Hut zu bekommen. Um ihren Mentees so gut wie möglich zur Seite stehen zu können, absolvieren die Studierenden im Zuge des Programms Weiterbildungen, die sie auf diese Tätigkeit vorbereiten sollen.

Die diesjährige Auftaktveranstaltung des Programms wurde von Studiendekanin Margit Reitbauer sowie von Birgit Schwarz, Schulqualitätsmanagement (Schulaufsicht in der Bildungsdirektion für Steiermark) eröffnet. Reitbauer betonte dabei die Chancen, die sich hier für Studierende wie Schüler/innen auftun und riet den knapp 50 „Paaren“ des diesjährigen Programms, diese entsprechend zu nutzen. Birgit Schwarz, die das Programm bereits von Beginn an unterstützt, fand lobende Worte für das Engagement aller Beteiligten und hob die Einzigartigkeit dieses Programms in der Steiermark hervor. Im Anschluss an die Eröffnung, die im Rahmen der ÖH MaturantInnen-Beratung stattfand, bot sich MentorInnen und Mentees die Gelegenheit, sich über das kommende gemeinsame Jahr und seine Herausforderungen auszutauschen

Fair distribution: Researchers determine just greenhouse gas budgets for all EU regions

Ten years ago, on 12 December 2015, the Paris Climate Agreement was signed at the UN Climate Conference. In order to limit global warming to well below two degrees, only a certain amount of CO2 may be emitted worldwide. While the focus was originally on national emission targets, more than 200 subnational regions and almost 300 cities have now adopted their own targets. But how many emissions are they fairly entitled to? Researchers at the University of Graz have now developed transparent criteria for fair distribution at the subnational level for the first time and determined corresponding greenhouse gas budgets for all European regions. The paper was published today in the scientific journal Nature Communications.

The collaboration builds on existing cooperation - for example in the areas of teacher training, Slavic studies and as employers, the universities are well coordinated.
