Der Ö1 Hörsaal öffnet am 11. Juni an der Uni Graz seine Türen: Gesundheit der Bienen

Die hohe Wintersterblichkeit der Honigbienen alarmiert Bevölkerung, ImkerInnen und WissenschafterInnen. Welche Faktoren beschleunigen dieses besorgniserregende Phänomen? Wie können die Imkereien vorbeugen? Was kann die Forschung leisten? Diesen und weiteren Fragen geht eine ExpertInnenrunde bei den „Bienengesprächen im Ö1 Hörsaal“ am 11. Juni 2015 an der Uni Graz nach.

Die Podiumsdiskussion ist zugleich Vorstellung eines von insgesamt 13 Siegerprojekten des Wettbewerbs „Ö1 Hörsaal“, einer Open Innovation-Initiative von der Österreichischen Universitätenkonferenz (uniko), Ö1 Wissenschaft und Innovation Service Network (ISN). Wissenschaftsjournalist Lothar Bodingbauer will mit der Initiative „Bienengespräche“ das Wissen aus den Imker-Vereinen abholen, dieses mit ForscherInnen in Verbindung bringen und so Informationen für neue und erfahrene ImkerInnen aufbereiten.

Das Podium:
- Univ.-Prof. Dr. Karl Crailsheim, Institut für Zoologie, Uni Graz
- Mag. Lothar Bodingbauer, Wissenschafts-Journalist und Imker
- Ing. Maximilian Marek, Präsident des Steirischen Landesverbandes für Bienenzucht
- Mag. Jutta Vollmann, Institut für Zoologie, Uni Graz

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.
