Beziehungsarbeit

„Der Friede von Passarowitz" (Detail), Heeresgeschichtliches Museum, Wien

„Der Friede von Passarowitz" (Detail), Heeresgeschichtliches Museum, Wien

Was Zentraleuropa und Balkanländer verbindet: Ausstellung „Wir und Passarowitz“ reist in die Türkei, nach Rumänien und Serbien 

Dass heute Zentraleuropa und die Balkanländer intensive Beziehungen pflegen und eine enge Zusammenarbeit verbindet, hat seinen Ursprung vor 300 Jahren. 1718 schlossen das Osmanische Reich und die Habsburgermonarchie einen Friedens- und einen Handelsvertrag in Passarowitz, dem heutigen Požarevac im Nordosten Serbiens. Anlässlich des Jubiläums konzipierte Historiker Harald Heppner, langjähriger Professor für südosteuropäische Geschichte an der Universität Graz, im Vorjahr eine Sonderausstellung im Landeszeughaus in Graz. 
„Wir und Passarowitz. 300 Jahre Auswirkungen auf Europa“ wurde inhaltlich sowie gestalterisch angepasst und ist es im Laufe des Jahres im Österreichischen Kulturforum in Istanbul (Türkei), im Banater Nationalmuseum in Timişoara/Temeswar (Rumänien), im Nationalmuseum von Požarevac/Passarowitz (Serbien) sowie in weiteren serbischen Städten wie etwa Novi Sad zu sehen.

Harald Heppner geht es mit der Ausstellung um die Bedeutung der Geschichte für die Gegenwart – die sich auch im Untertitel „300 Jahre Auswirkungen auf Europa“ manifestiert. Dazu unterscheidet der Historiker zwischen den Begriffen Vergangenheit und Geschichte: „Vergangenheit existiert, einerlei ob wir uns mit ihr beschäftigen oder nicht, denn dieser Begriff deckt alles ab, was nicht mehr zum Jetzt zählt. Geschichte hingegen umschreibt die Summe des Wissens über die Zusammenhänge zwischen der zwangsläufig immer länger werdenden Vergangenheit, einer immer nur kurzen Gegenwart und einer bevorstehenden Zukunft." Zum historischen Wissen komme, so Heppner, tagtäglich etwas hinzu, das zu überprüfen und einzuordnen sei.

Jurassic Sounds: Biologist reconstructs insect songs from 165 million years ago

It was apparently not just the roars of the dinosaurs that made up the soundscape of the animal world during the Jurassic period. Crickets and grasshoppers communicated through a variety of songs and high-pitched sounds, as Thorin Jonsson from the Institute of Biology at the University of Graz discovered together with colleagues from the universities of Lincoln, Bristol (UK), Beijing (China) and Tempe (USA). The findings on what are so far the oldest traces of sound on Earth have just been published in the journal PNAS.

EU funding boosts international exchange between universities

The University of Graz is further expanding its international study opportunities through the European university alliance Arqus and is taking the lead in two key projects. In future, students will benefit from even more joint degree programmes and from simplified recognition of academic achievements through the Joint European Degree Label.

Rescue and risks: Researchers have surveyed public perceptions of AI

The use of artificial intelligence has had to be made transparent since 2 August 2026. The EU’s AI Act, which has been in force since then, also sets out how risky an application is and which security measures apply as a result. However, the assessment of risks by the legislation differs in some cases significantly from the perceptions of the Austrian public. This is the finding of a representative study carried out by data scientist Stefan Thalmann from the University of Graz and his team.

The Healing Sea: Researchers discover new approaches to treating chronic inflammation in sponges

Chronic inflammation plays a key role in many diseases, ranging from metabolic disorders and cardiovascular diseases to tissue damage following injuries or infections. “Normally, the body is able to resolve inflammation on its own. If this process becomes unbalanced, immune cells remain permanently active and continue to drive negative changes in the tissue,” explains Andreas Koeberle, a pharmacist at the University of Graz.
