Grazer Universitäten bauen auf Förderung durch FWF

„Die Universitäten sind unsere wichtigsten Partnerinnen“, untermauerte FWF-Präsident Klement Tockner im Rahmen der aktuellen Roadshow des österreichischen Wissenschaftsfonds, die am 28. April 2017 an der Uni Graz Station machte. Der Dialog zwischen ForscherInnen und Fonds stand im Mittelpunkt. Auch die drei Grazer RektorInnen Christa Neuper (Uni Graz), Harald Kainz (TU Graz) und Hellmut Samonigg (Med Uni) diskutierten mit FWF-Präsident Tockner die Rahmenbedingungen zur Förderung der Grundlagenforschung am Standort Graz. Dessen hohen Stellenwert belegte Tockner anhand von Fakten: 437 Projekte werden derzeit am Forschungsstandort Graz vom FWF gefördert, 700 WissenschafterInnen finanziert, davon sind die Hälfte DoktorandInnen. 

„Der FWF ist der wichtigste Fördergeber unserer Universität und stellt die Hälfte der Drittmitteleinnahmen“, bestätigte Rektorin Christa Neuper. Auch für die forschungsstarken Kooperationen bildet der FWF ein festes Fundament, so kann BioTechMed-Graz auf 107 laufende FWF-Projekte verweisen. Neuper verwies zudem auf die Bedeutung der Einrichtung für den wissenschaftlichen Nachwuchs: „Ein FWF-Projekt einzuwerben, ist ein entscheidender Faktor für die weitere Karriere.“ Generell habe der Fonds zur Förderung der Grundlagenforschung einen hohen Anteil an der Qualitätssicherung: „Er hat Standards festgelegt, die mittlerweile insgesamt für die Universität Gültigkeit haben.“

Climate change is driving up temperatures not only in summer. Winters are also getting warmer – with dramatic consequences for glaciers, permafrost, snow cover and the freezing of lakes.

Following the schism involving the Society of St Pius X, there is a need for discussion.

“HeinrichBiCool”: University of Graz demonstrates the effects of green facades and roofs

The University of Graz has launched a pioneering project at the University Centre for Theology. Its name, “HeinrichBiCool”, says it all: a comprehensive system of green facades and roof will cool the building at Heinrichstraße 80 during the summer. At the same time, this will create a new habitat for plants and animals, helping to increase biodiversity. The accompanying monitoring programme will provide detailed data on the impact of the measures on indoor climate, energy consumption and biodiversity. The findings will lay a scientifically sound foundation for further projects aimed at making cities sustainable, climate-resilient and liveable. The partners in this project, funded by the Austrian Research Promotion Agency (FFG), are AEE INTEC – Institute for Sustainable Technologies, Technisches Büro Siegfried Stark, the landscape architecture and urban planning firm “studio boden”, and Ökoteam Graz.
