Europas Hochschul-Netzwerk zeigt vor: Was Wissenschaft als Zugpferd für die Wirtschaft bewirken kann

Sie wirken wie Motoren für den Standort Steiermark. Mit insgesamt 65.000 Studierenden, 15.000 MitarbeiterInnen, fast einer Milliarde Umsatz sind die neun Universitäten und Hochschulen eine gewaltige Wirtschaftskraft. Dank ihrer Innovationen und Forschungen gelten sie als Magnet für Unternehmen.
„Die steirischen Universitäten sind international ein Vorbild für die enge Kooperation untereinander, aber auch mit den Unternehmen am Standort. Nicht zufällig sind wir für unsere Cluster bekannt, in denen auch die Universitäten eine gewichtige Rolle spielen“, unterstreicht Peter Riedler, Vizerektor für Finanzen, Ressourcen und Standortentwicklung, die Bedeutung der Hochschulen in der Steiermark.

Welche Rolle Universitäten in anderen europäischen Regionen spielen – das steht im Mittelpunkt einer internationalen Tagung des Netzwerks European University Association(EUA). Dreh- und Angelpunkt ist die Universität Graz, die am 13. November 2018 anlässlich der EU-Ratspräsidentschaft UniversitätsvertreterInnen aus 27 Ländern begrüßt. Als Host zeichnet Vizerektor Peter Riedler verantwortlich, auch Österreichs Vertreter in der EUA-Arbeitsgruppe zur Standortentwicklung.

RektorInnen und weitere Hochschul-ManagerInnen präsentieren und diskutieren bei Workshops Vorzeige-Projekte und Herausforderungen. Ein Kernthema, dem sich auch die Universität Graz intensiv widmet, lautet unternehmerisches Handeln von Studierenden und ForscherInnen. Wie das Universitäten fördern können, beleuchten unter anderem Alfred Gutschelhofer, Leiter des Instituts für Unternehmensführung und Entrepreneurship der Universität Graz, sowie Christine Vollmann, UNESCO-Professorin in Entrepreneurship and Intercultural Management an der Universität Wuppertal.

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.
