Können wir Sterben üben? Ringvorlesung über Menschen in der letzten Lebensphase

Wir verdrängen es nur allzu gerne: Dabei sind Sterben, Tod und Trauer Teil des Lebens. Die Hospizbewegung begleitet Menschen in deren letzten Phase und widmet sich zentralen Fragen: Wie verarbeiten wir die Angst vor Krankheiten? Welche Formen von Sterbehilfe gibt es? Wer kümmert sich um trauernde Angehörige? Und kann man Sterben sogar üben? Diese und weitere Themen stellt die Universität Graz bei einer Ringvorlesung im Sommersemester 2023 in den Mittelpunkt.

„Mit der steigenden Lebenserwartung verändern sich die Anforderungen an uns alle“, erklärt Kulturwissenschaftlerin Ulla Kriebernegg. Als Leiterin des Zentrums für interdisziplinäre Alterns- und Care-Forschung an der Universität Graz beschäftigt sie sich mit Möglichkeiten, wie gute Sorgestrukturen für die gesamte Gesellschaft funktionieren können. Dabei spielt die letzte Lebensphase eine wichtige Rolle. Den Umgang mit Tod, Trauer und Verlust beleuchtet nun eine öffentliche Vortragsreihe aus verschiedenen Blickwinkeln. Expert:innen aus Medizin, Pharmazie, Psychologie, Recht, Literatur und Ethik kommen zu Wort und vermitteln aktuelle Erkenntnisse aus Wissenschaft sowie Praxis.

Die Hospizidee – Herausforderung und Chance für die Gesellschaft
Den Anfang am 8. März 2023 macht Pastoraltheologe Andreas Heller mit der Frage, was die Gesellschaft von der Hospizbewegung lernen kann.
Die weiteren Vorlesungen finden jeweils mittwochs (ausgenommen lehrveranstaltungsfreie Wochen) um 18:15 Uhr im Hörsaal 12.11, Universitätsstraße 2-4 (ehemaliges Heizhaus), statt.

Die Reihe unter der Leitung von Adelheid Brantner und Ulla Kriebernegg wird in Kooperation mit dem Hospizverein Steiermark und der Age and Care Research Group Graz durchgeführt.
Der Eintritt ist frei und steht allen Interessierten offen. Studierende erhalten im Rahmen der freien Wahlfächer ECTS-Punkte.

Austria’s emissions rose in 2025: University of Graz researchers analyse the causes

The Environment Agency Austria has today published the figures for the country’s greenhouse gas emissions in 2025. While emissions fell sharply year on year from 2022 to 2024, they rose again by just under 0.7 per cent in 2025. Researchers at the University of Graz have analysed how much of this increase was due to structural changes in the economy and how much was attributable to external factors over which there is little control. “In 2025, the colder winter compared with 2024 increased emissions by 0.81 per cent, while the weak economy reduced them by 0.38 per cent. If we factor out these influences, we find an underlying increase of 0.26 per cent compared with the previous year,” reports economist Karl Steininger. “This clearly means that Austria is not on track to meet its climate targets, which require a substantial reduction in emissions by 2030.”

Electrifying: Researchers film the first moments on the way from light to electricity

Physicists at the University of Graz (Austria), in collaboration with colleagues from Marburg University and Forschungszentrum Jülich (Germany), have achieved a scientific breakthrough. For the first time, the generation of electrical energy from light has been filmed and described theoretically. This work is of far-reaching significance, not least for optimising sustainable energy production from photovoltaics. This is because it provides fundamental building blocks for understanding the physical processes that take place, for example, in organic solar cells. The paper was published in the journal Physical Review X, one of the world’s most prestigious physics journals.

How can we teach using YouTube and AI? The University of Graz is strengthening media education in schools

A journey through the blood vessels using VR headsets brings biology lessons to life. An interactive quiz brings physics to life. The YouTube video explains the First World War. Whilst mobile phones are increasingly being banned from the classroom, social media platforms, apps and AI are playing an ever-greater role in knowledge transfer at school. But how can teaching with media be made even more effective? What are the challenges in media-based teaching? At the University of Graz, researchers are discussing these issues at a conference being held in Austria for the first time.
