Internationale Tagung widmete sich dem Thema Qualität im Hochschulbereich

Die dritte internationale Tagung des Netzwerks für Qualitätsmanagement und Qualitätsentwicklung der österreichischen Universitäten befasste sich am 2. und 3. Februar 2017 an der Uni Graz mit der Frage, mit welchen „Verständnissen von Qualität“ damit Befasste an Hochschulen konfrontiert sind und welche Bedeutung das für die Praxis hat.

„Die Veranstaltung ist ein wichtiger Schritt in der Weiterentwicklung der österreichischen Hochschullandschaft, im Zusammenhang damit, Bildung und Forschung auf höchstem Niveau zu gestalten“, unterstrich Vizerektor Peter Scherrer bei der Begrüßung der TeilnehmerInnen in der Aula. Anschließend führte Dr. Gudrun Salmhofer, Leiterin der Abteilung Lehr- und Studienservices an der Uni Graz und Mitglied des Programmkomitees, ins Thema der Konferenz ein.

Mit Qualitätsfragen befasste MitarbeiterInnen von Universitäten und Interessierte aus dem gesamten deutschsprachigen Raum nutzten die Gelegenheit zu Austausch und Diskussion. Die Tagung, die unter dem Titel „Qualität verstehen – Komplexität managen“ stand, bot dazu mehrere Foren zu verschiedenen Fragen an.

Den Eröffnungsvortrag hielt Dr. James Williams von der Birmingham City University über „Defining Quality in the age of Global Higher Education“. Prof. Margret Bülow-Schramm von der Universität Hamburg widmete sich im Abschlussvortrag AkteurInnen, Prozessen und Zielen im Zusammenhang mit Qualitätsmanagement und Qualitätsentwicklung an Hochschulen.

Ziel des gegenseitigen Austausches im Netzwerk ist letztendlich die Entwicklung objektivierbarer und vergleichbarer Kriterien, die bei aller Diversität einer innovativen Lehr- und Lernpraxis oder kreativen Forschungszugängen gerecht werden.

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.
