Jahrestagung der österreichischen Life Sciences an der Uni Graz eröffnet

„Life Sciences for the Next Generation“ – so lautet das Motto der Österreichischen Gesellschaft für Molekulare Biowissenschaften und Biotechnologie (ÖGMBT), die noch bis morgen, 14. September 2016, an der Karl-Franzens-Universität Graz zu ihrer 8. Jahrestagung zusammentrifft. Österreichs größte wissenschaftliche Gesellschaft im Bereich der Life Sciences vernetzt dabei nicht nur Wissenschaft und Wirtschaft, sondern fördert – analog zum Titel „for the Next Generation“ – auch den wissenschaftlichen Nachwuchs mit Preisen und Stipendien.

Den Auftakt des Kongresses bildete am 12. September 2016 ein „Gipfeltreffen“ von VertreterInnen der österreichischen Forschungs- und Hochschulpolitik. Im Rahmen einer Podiumsdiskussion nahmen BMWFW-Sektionschefin Barbara Weitgruber, der neue FWF-Präsident Klement Tockner, uniko-Präsident Oliver Vitouch, FFG-Bereichsleiterin Birgit Tauber, die neue FWF-Vizepräsidentin Ellen Zechner sowie ÖGMBT-Vizepräsident Lukas Huber eine Standortbestimmung zur Lage der Grundlagenforschung in Österreich vor. Tenor: Mit einem Schulterschluss aller beteiligten Institutionen in Form einer „Wissenschaftsallianz“ will man auf die angespannte finanzielle Situation aufmerksam machen und Wege zur Sicherung des Standortes aufzeigen.

From Iowa to Graz: US researcher puts “angry” algorithms to the test

Researcher Hussam Habib is investigating how social media platforms use algorithms to evoke emotions, capture attention, and disseminate content in a targeted manner. Born in Pakistan, he came to the University of Graz on an APART-USA scholarship from the Austrian Academy of Sciences. Thanks to new EU regulations, the scientist hopes to gain deeper insight into the mechanisms behind YouTube, Instagram, Reddit, and other platforms.

Lightbulb moments: How two young physicists are working for tomorrow

They shed light on unresolved questions – and use it in their work in physics. Diana Shakirova is using light to distinguish different chiral molecules, which can have both healing and toxic effects. Christoph Stockinger, on the other hand, uses light to develop high-precision sensors. But it is not only light that connects the two physicists. The doctoral students took part in the NanoGraz Careers & Ideas Days to prepare themselves in good time for the next steps in their careers as young scientists.

Rector Peter Riedler: Starting the year with confidence

In 2026, we will continue to work consistently on positioning the University of Graz as a relevant player in Europe, while at the same time focusing on a modern, sustainable and climate-friendly university campus. When new digital applications are rolled out in January, we will not only create a stable and secure IT environment, but also modern working and studying conditions for future generations.
