Fair verteilt, gut gehandelt

SchülerInnen präsentierten im Rahmen einer Business-Messe ihre innovativen und nachhaltigen Geschäftsideen. Unter der Schirmherrschaft des EU-Projekts OPEDUCA lud das RCE Graz-Styria an der Uni Graz zu einem Businessdinner und Abschlussbuffet. Fotos: Uni Graz/Tzivanopoulos

Steirische SchülerInnen und Geographie-Studierende präsentierten nachhaltige Geschäftsideen bei fiktiver Business-Messe

Rund 45 SchülerInnen aus den fünften und sechsten Klassen des Bundesgymnasium Dreihackengasse Graz und dem Stiftsgymnasium Admont trafen sich am Institut für Geographie und Raumforschung der Universität Graz, um gemeinsam mit Studierenden und dem Team des RCE Graz-Styria das Thema lokale nachhaltige Geschäftsideen als Teil von globalen Veränderungsprozessen interaktiv zu erörtern. O. Univ.-Prof. Dr. Friedrich M. Zimmermann, Leiter des RCE Graz-Styria, führte zu Beginn der Veranstaltung durch einen Vortrag zu globaler Verteilungsungerechtigkeit in das Thema ein. Im Anschluss fand eine Business-Messe statt, welche engagierte Studierende der Umweltsystemwissenschaften und Geographie sowie LehrerInnen der beiden Schulen gemeinsam mit den SchülerInnen vorbereitet hatten.


Die jungen kreativen Köpfe präsentierten dort auf eigens gestalteten Messeständen nachhaltige innovative Geschäftsideen, wie beispielsweise die Eigenproduktion veganer Bioseife, den Anbau und die Verarbeitung von biologischen Beeren und Gemüse im schuleigenen Garten oder den Vertrieb von fruchtigen fair trade Schokoladensnacks. Die einzelnen Produkte konnten teilweise schon erworben bzw. verkostet werden.


Im Anschluss an die Messe gab es im Uni-Café ein globales Businessdiner. Die Tischplätze wurden durch Lose verteilt und so fanden sich die Gäste entweder an einem Tisch mit reichhaltigen Fleischspeisen oder an einem der zahlreichen Tische mit Brot und Wasser wieder. Die globale Ernährungssituation wurde so für die TeilnehmerInnen zur unmittelbaren Realität. Diese Erfahrung für alle wurde im Anschluss gemeinsam reflektiert und bei einem Abschlussbuffet diskutiert.

Die Veranstaltung wurde durch das RCE Graz-Styria organisiert und fand im Rahmen des EU Projekts „OPEDUCA - Developing OPen EDUCAtional regions for future-oriented learning and teaching Anytime, Anyplace, with Anybody, through Any device“ statt.

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

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.
