Jubiläum von Utrecht Network und in Coimbra Group: Rektorin Neuper bei europäischen Uni-Netzwerken

Als einzige Universität Österreichs ist die Karl-Franzens-Universität Partnerin von zwei anerkannten Hochschul-Netzwerken, dem Utrecht Network sowie Coimbra Group. Und beide Vereinigungen hatten kürzlich Grund zum Feiern: Das Utrecht Network beging sein 25-Jahr-Jubiläum, die Coimbra Group hielt die diesjährige Jahreskonferenz an der Georg-August-Universität Göttingen anlässlich deren 275-Jahr-Jubiläums ab. Rektorin Christa Neuper überbrachte Glückwünsche sowie Sichtweisen der Uni Graz.

Utrecht Network
In der namengebenden Stadt wurde das 25-jährige Bestehen des Utrecht Networks gefeiert. Das Netzwerk von Netzwerk von derzeit 31 europäischen Universitäten widmet sich unter anderem der Internationalisierung von Joint-Curricula bzw. -Degrees sowie dem Ausbau von Studierenden- und MitarbeiterInnenmobilität. Die Uni Graz leitet die Task-Forces Summerschools und Student-Mobility.
Im Rahmen der Jubiläumsveranstaltung nahm Rektorin Christa Neuper an einem Seminar mit den RektorInnen der Partneruniversitäten zu den Themen „Joint Degree Programme“ und „ERASMUS for all“ teil.

Coimbra Group
Die Coimbra Group ist ein Netzwerk von 40 renommierten europäischen Universitäten, die in Lehre und Forschung kooperieren. Im Rahmen der diesjährigen Jahreskonferenz der COIMBRA GROUP (CG) an der Georg-August-Universität Göttingen stand das sich rasch wandelnde globale Umfeld für Hochschulbildung und Forschung im Mittelpunkt. Das Symposium „Governance for Integrity and Quality in Universities” richtete den Blick auf die Herausforderungen, mit denen Leitungsverantwortliche und Leitungsgremien konfrontiert sind, um ein förderliches Umfeld für kreative Forschung und kritisches Denken zu schaffen. Rektorin Christa Neuper unterstrich im Zuge der Diskussion in Göttingen die Verantwortung der LeiterInnen von Forschungsteams als Rollenmodel für ihre jüngeren KollegInnen und NachwuchswissenschafterInnen. Ebenso hob Neuper die Bedeutung geeigneter Betreuungsverhältnisse und angemessener Rahmenbedingungen in Zeiten sinkender Hochschulbudgets hervor.

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.
