Diese Woche steht im Zeichen von Erasmus+- Heute im Fokus: Personalmobilität

Mit der Erasmus+ Bedienstetenmobilität haben alle MitarbeiterInnen der Universität Graz zahlreiche Länder und Partnereinrichtungen weltweit zur Auswahl. Die Mobilität bietet ihnen die Möglichkeit, neue Kompetenzen und Expertise zu erwerben, die Internationalisierung der Universität und ihrer Mitarbeiterinnen zu fördern und eine bessere Vernetzung mit Partneruniversitäten zu schaffen. Das Erasmus+ Programm bietet zwei Mobilitätsarten für Bedienstete an:

Erasmus+ Staff Training:

•    Möglich für alle MitarbeiterInnen mit aktivem Dienstverhältnis
•    Aufenthalte ab zwei Tagen bis zwei Monaten
•    Trainings, fachspezifische Kurse, Workshops, Praktika, Job-Shadowing & Know-How Transfer

Erasmus+ Lehraufenthalte:
•    Möglich für alle Lehrenden mit aktivem Dienstverhältnis
•    Aufenthalte ab zwei Tagen bis zwei Monate
•    Lehrumfang von mindestens acht Stunden/Woche

Nach erfolgreicher Bewerbung wird die Bedienstetenmobilität finanziell bezuschusst.

Mobil sein: das sagen TeilnehmerInnen dazu

Erfahrungen aus erster Hand sind hilfreich, um sich mit dem Thema Mobilität besser auseinanderzusetzen zu können. Daher haben wir einige TeilnehmerInnen darum gebeten, uns ein kleines Resümee zukommen zu lassen.


Thomas Pölzler: Pontifical Catholic University of Rio de Janeiro
„Der Austausch an der PUCi (wie die Universität von den Einheimischen genannt wird) war eine großartige Erfahrung. Ich unterrichtete zusammen mit meinem Gastgeber ein Seminar, das meinen Horizont sowohl in puncto Inhalt als auch hinsichtlich der verwendeten Lehrmethoden erweiterte. Ebenso gab es viele Möglichkeiten, mich mit KollegInnen über mein Forschungsgebiet auszutauschen, neue Freundschaften zu bilden und mehr über Brasilien zu lernen. Mit meinem Gastgeber werde ich auch bald in einem gemeinsamen Forschungsprojekt zusammenarbeiten.“


Laura Garcia Portella: Universitat de Barcelona:
"My stay in Barcelona was incredibly productive. I taught in a seminar on political philosophy and introduced the topic of climate ethics, and the students were very engaged with the subject matter. I had a close look at alternative possibilities to develop a political philosophy syllabus, which enriched and broadened my view on the discipline. My host and I now explore the possibility of collaborating in the near future, together with other colleagues in the Department of Philosophy at the UB."

Sarah Mercer: University of Bergen
"The Erasmus+ exchange with Bergen was a fantastic opportunity to connect deeply and personally with colleagues and students there. It has been instrumental in helping us establish a set of cooperation projects at the doctoral level also within the Arqus programme as well as furthering academic research projects together including a specific agenda of research due to commence this autumn. Looking ahead, we plan further exchanges between staff and students to ensure we continue to learn from each other and broaden our intellectual and cultural horizons."


Christoph Hofstätter: University of Sarajevo
„Für die Möglichkeit, in Sarajevo im Rahmen des Erasmus+-Programms unterrichten zu dürfen, bin ich immer noch sehr dankbar. Neben dem fachlichen Austausch mit den KollegInnen und dem Kontakt mit den dortigen Studierenden war vor allem auch das Eintauchen in die bosnische Geschichte und Kultur äußerst bereichernd.“

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.
