Ein besonderes Jahr ging zu Ende. Wir sagen "Danke" an die Wissenschaft

Corona, Corona und nochmals Corona: Kein Ereignis hat die letzten Jahre so flächendeckend geprägt wie das Virus namens "severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2" - SARS-CoV-2. Ausgangsbeschränkungen, die Isolation des Individuums, Stagnation der Wirtschaft und der Verlust von Menschenleben sind nur einige Auswirkungen dieser Pandemie. Der Klimawandel sorgt für Unwetterextreme und Dürre, und er zwingt Menschen - neben politischen Gründen - ihre Heimat zu verlassen. Neue Medikamente sorgen dafür, dass Stoffwechsel- und Krebserkrankungen bekämpft werden können.

Die Wissenschaft sucht stets nach Lösungen für die gesellschaftsrelevanten Fragen und in Zeiten wie diesen ist sie von essentieller Bedeutung. Die Universität Graz sagt "Danke" für die unzähligen neuen Erkenntnisse aller WissenschafterInnen unterschiedlicher Disziplinen. Sie sind es, welche die Puzzleteile unsere Welt zusammensetzen und den Fortschritt vorantreiben.

Staying fit during the holidays: summer sports on the University of Graz campus

The Kleeblattlauf is not the end of the fitness term. Following last year’s successful launch, the University of Graz is once again offering summer sports on campus this year. From 30 June to 16 July 2026, there will be a free exercise programme in the open air. On the shady Südwiese (between the main building and Universitätsplatz 2), anyone interested can get in shape in the afternoons with body workouts, fascia training and yoga.

Getting even hotter: Researchers predict global warming of 1.7 degrees by 2027

While Europe is currently sweltering in the heat, global temperatures are also rising towards concerning record levels. In 2026, Earth’s surface air temperature is expected to reach 1.62 degrees, and in 2027 even 1.71 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels. The long-term temperature rise – an average over a 20-year period – is predicted to exceed the 1.5-degree threshold of the Paris Agreement as of 2026 already. For the first time, researchers at the University of Graz have been able to make such a forecast so far in advance. The intensifying El Niño climate event favors forecast skill and thereby facilitates a reliable computation.

Forest fire at Rosenhain: Volunteer fire brigade carried out an evacuation drill at the Jesuit refectory

Thick smoke in the stairwell, flames at the edge of the forest, people missing in the Jesuit refectory at the University of Graz: at Rosenhain, the Graz Volunteer Fire Brigade carried out a drill simulating a scenario that is becoming increasingly realistic given the heat and drought

Full effort in the heat: the Sports Centre was in full swing at the Kleeblattlauf
