Arbeits- und Sozialminister Alois Stöger im Politik Cafè: „Wir brauchen soziale Sicherheit.“

Nach Familienministerin Sophie Karmasin und Außenminister Sebastian Kurz konnte Markus Steppan, Rechtswissenschafter an der Karl-Franzens-Universität, am 8. März 2017 mit Arbeits- und Sozialminister Alois Stöger ein weiteres Mitglied der Bundesregierung für das Politik Café der Uni Graz gewinnen. Wo liegen die Grenzen der Finanzierbarkeit des Sozialstaates? Dieses Thema war Ausgangspunkt für die Diskussion zwischen Minister, Gastgeber und Gästen im Café Promenade.

„Wie lange wird unser Pensionssystem funktionieren?“, lautete eine der Fragen von Markus Steppan. „Wir können uns jede Pension leisten, wenn wir sie uns leisten wollen“, unterstrich Stöger. In einer Gesellschaft handle es sich stets um Verteilungskämpfe. Dazu brauche es ein klares Bekenntnis. Stöger begründete: „Wir brauchen soziale Sicherheit, um eine friedliche Gesellschaft zu gewährleisten.“ Eine wesentliche Aufgabe sei es, diese kollektive Sicherheit weiterzuentwickeln, dazu seien neben der Politik auch die Universitäten gefragt: „Gerade in einer Zeit, in der die Ergebnisse der Aufklärung zunehmend in Frage gestellt werden.“ Stöger würdigte in diesem Zusammenhang auch die Aktivitäten der Uni Graz, die mit der 7. fakultät Wissenschaft und gesellschaftspolitischen Diskurs verknüpft.

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.

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.
