Die Autorin und ihr Kritiker: Gemeinsam mit dem Grazer Literaturhaus wurde zur "UB Baustellenlesung" mit Doris Knecht geladen

Es war ein lauer Sommerabend am gestrigen Montag. Perfektes Wetter für ein Experiment sozusagen. Die Universität Graz und das Grazer Literaturhaus luden zu einer literarischen Besonderheit, einer "Baustellenlesung" mit der österreichischen Autorin Doris Knecht auf den Vorplatz des RESOWI-Gebäudes. Der Platz wurde zur Bühne, die Stufen zum Publikumsraum. Vor der Kulisse der Universitätsbibliothek duellierten sich Doris Knecht und ihr Moderator, der Literaturkritiker Carsten Otte, wahrlich in einem Dialogefecht. Besprochen wurde der Roman "weg", den die Autorin mitgebracht hatte und der penibel genau vom Literaturkritiker unter die Augen genommen und im Zwiegespräch mit der Verfasserin zerpflückt wurde. Vizerektor Peter Riedler erzählte Wissenswertes über den Bibliotheksbau, Klaus Kastberger begrüßte als Leiter des Literaturhauses die Gäste und die ZuhörerInnen. Die Lesung, die aus dem Sommerprogramm des Grazer Literaturhauses entnommen wurde, sollte den Bezug Baustelle-Bibliothek-Buch herstellen und die Zeit bis zur Eröffnung des neuen Hauses Ende September verkürzen.

Crystal-clear: AI method revolutionises solar observation

The Sun makes life on Earth possible. However, its magnetic fields can also cause massive disruption. This makes it all the more important to gain a better understanding of the processes taking place on our nearest star. A research team from the University of Graz and the High Altitude Observatory in Boulder (USA) has succeeded in doing just that. The astrophysicists have developed an AI-supported method that makes even the smallest structures on the Sun visible. The scientists are convinced that this will bring about a lasting change in solar observation and that the new method can be used for the planned European Solar Telescope.

Long Night of Research: How many languages are there in the world?
