Konferenz zur Rolle von Religion in Konflikten

An einem interreligiösen Dialog von Frauen über Religion und ihre Rolle in Konflikten nahm Univ.-Prof. Dr. Ulrike Bechmann vom Institut für Religionswissenschaft der Uni Graz am 2. Juni 2016 teil. In die Sky-Lounge des Styria-Medienzentrums kamen Vertreterinnen verschiedener Religionen mit den Friedensnobelpreisträgerinnen Leymah Gbowee (Liberia) und Rigoberta Menchú Tum (Guatemala) ins Gespräch.

Wann setzen Religionen destruktive und wann konstruktive Kräfte frei, wie können sie zur Beendigung von bewaffneten Konflikten beitragen und wann stärken oder schwächen sie die Rechte von Frauen? Dieser Dialog ging als kick-off der Konferenz „Women for Peace“ voraus, die am 3. Juni in Graz mit einer weiteren Friedensnobelpreisträgerin, Judy Williams (USA), sowie Expertinnen aus Syrien und dem Irak sowie internationalen Organisationen die Bekämpfung von sexueller Gewalt im Kontext von Konflikten thematisierte.

Setback: Austria's greenhouse gas emissions rise in 2025

Climate protection is currently facing an uphill battle. The United Nations have recently been unable to agree on a roadmap for phasing out fossil fuels, even though global warming continues to accelerate. Also Austria still does not have a national climate law with a clear target path for reducing emissions. This is evidently taking its toll: Austria’s greenhouse gas emissions rose again in 2025 for the first time in years, by around two and a half percent, according to calculations by researchers at the University of Graz. In addition to overly cautious climate action measures, this is due to somewhat colder winter months compared to 2024, which are driving up natural gas consumption.

Kink in the curve: Eleonore Faber researches the "fuzzy" parts of algebra

How can the movements of robotic arms be described using maths? And what does a computer need to understand in order to function? The magic word to answer these questions is algebra. Eleonore Faber has been a professor of this branch of mathematics at the University of Graz for two years. She is particularly interested in complex phenomena that cannot be fully understood using conventional rules or laws - where algebra becomes "fuzzy".
