DocService lud zur 1. Jahrestagung

Nachwuchsförderung ist eines der strategischen Ziele, die die Karl-Franzens-Universität Graz in ihrem Entwicklungsplan verankert hat. Als eine Maßnahme wurde kürzlich das DocService als Plattform und Beratungsstelle für Doktoratsstudierende eingerichtet. Am 31. Mai 2012 fand im Meerscheinschlössl die erste Jahrestagung des DocService statt. Unter dem Titel „Doktorat Deluxe“ präsentierten VertreterInnen deutscher Hochschulen erfolgreiche Formate in der Doktoratsausbildung.

 

„Wir müssen ein neues Verständnis vom Doktoratsstudium aufbauen“, unterstrich Martin Polaschek, Vizerektor für Studium und Lehre, bei der Eröffnung der Tagung. „Denn in den letzten Jahren hat es in diesem Bereich einen Quantensprung gegeben.“ Sowohl der Universitätsleitung als auch den in der Doktoratsausbildung Tätigen komme dabei eine große Verantwortung zu. Peter Scherrer, Vizerektor für Forschung und Nachwuchsförderung, verwies auf die derzeit noch sehr unterschiedlichen Voraussetzungen und Angebote in der Ausbildung von DissertantInnen an den einzelnen Fakultäten und betonte: „Hier besteht großer Handlungsbedarf.“

 

Der wissenschaftliche Nachwuchs begegnet heute einer Vielzahl von Herausforderungen. MMag. Alexandra Dorfer, Leiterin der Abteilung Lehr- und Studienservices, verwies auf das umfassende Anforderungsprofil: Vom Publizieren auf Englisch über Drittmitteleinwerbung und Projektmanagement bis hin zu Interdisziplinarität und hervorragenden Forschungsleistungen. Dr. Corinne Von der Hellen und Dr. Gerald Lind vom DocService informierten anschließend über die Hilfestellungen, die diese neue Einrichtung bietet, bevor dann das Vortragsprogramm über Erfolgsmodelle aus Jena, Berlin und Frankfurt viele interessante Anregungen brachte.

 

Die abschließende Podiumsdiskussion mit den Vortragenden sowie den Vizerektoren Martin Polaschek und Peter Scherrer, moderiert von Mag. Gerlinde Pölsler vom Falter Steiermark, befasste sich mit Schwerpunkten und Möglichkeiten ganzheitlich konzipierter Nachwuchsförderung.

Austria’s emissions rose in 2025: University of Graz researchers analyse the causes

The Environment Agency Austria has today published the figures for the country’s greenhouse gas emissions in 2025. While emissions fell sharply year on year from 2022 to 2024, they rose again by just under 0.7 per cent in 2025. Researchers at the University of Graz have analysed how much of this increase was due to structural changes in the economy and how much was attributable to external factors over which there is little control. “In 2025, the colder winter compared with 2024 increased emissions by 0.81 per cent, while the weak economy reduced them by 0.38 per cent. If we factor out these influences, we find an underlying increase of 0.26 per cent compared with the previous year,” reports economist Karl Steininger. “This clearly means that Austria is not on track to meet its climate targets, which require a substantial reduction in emissions by 2030.”

Electrifying: Researchers film the first moments on the way from light to electricity

Physicists at the University of Graz (Austria), in collaboration with colleagues from Marburg University and Forschungszentrum Jülich (Germany), have achieved a scientific breakthrough. For the first time, the generation of electrical energy from light has been filmed and described theoretically. This work is of far-reaching significance, not least for optimising sustainable energy production from photovoltaics. This is because it provides fundamental building blocks for understanding the physical processes that take place, for example, in organic solar cells. The paper was published in the journal Physical Review X, one of the world’s most prestigious physics journals.

How can we teach using YouTube and AI? The University of Graz is strengthening media education in schools

A journey through the blood vessels using VR headsets brings biology lessons to life. An interactive quiz brings physics to life. The YouTube video explains the First World War. Whilst mobile phones are increasingly being banned from the classroom, social media platforms, apps and AI are playing an ever-greater role in knowledge transfer at school. But how can teaching with media be made even more effective? What are the challenges in media-based teaching? At the University of Graz, researchers are discussing these issues at a conference being held in Austria for the first time.
