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.

Complying with the norm: Why Do Standards Shape Our Lives, Elisabeth Staudegger?

Standards determine whether a sheet of paper fits in a printer or whether a charging plug can power multiple devices. These standards shape our everyday lives. But who actually sets these standards? Where are the weaknesses, and how could science help to improve them? Elisabeth Staudegger, Head of the ‘Law and IT’ Department at the Institute for Legal Foundations at the University of Graz, host the Academic Standards Day on 16 June. Here she relays how sciences can contribute to the topic of standardisation and reveals her personal favourite standard.

Survival strategies: How plants respond to drought

According to Geosphere Austria, this spring was the driest in Austria since records began around 170 years ago. The low rainfall put particular pressure on the agricultural sector.

We asked Johannes Liesche, a professor at the Department of Biology at the University of Graz, how plants react to water shortages and how they survive periods of drought.
