Wettbewerb „Odysseus II” sucht kreative NachwuchswissenschafterInnen

Satelliten, Raumsonden, Astrobiologie, interplanetarische Reisen – der EU-Bildungswettbewerb „Odysseus II – Youth for Space” ist offen für kreative Ideen zu einer vielfältigen Themenpalette. SchülerInnen und Studierende bis zum Alter von 22 Jahren sind zur Teilnahme aufgerufen. In der Kategorie „Explorer“ (17 bis 22 Jahre) können NachwuchswissenschafterInnen Projekte aus Physik, Astronomie, Astrophysik und Weltraumforschung mit Materialkosten von maximal 150 Euro einreichen. Auf die GewinnerInnen warten tolle Preise – vom Teleskop bis zu einer Reise zum Guiana Space Center und einem bezahlten ESA-Praktikum. Einsendeschluss ist 31. März 2017.

In jedem EU-Land werden die Gewinnerinnen und Gewinner ausgewählt. Diese treffen sich zu einem Halbfinale der Regionen, dessen SiegerInnen dann beim europäischen Finale gegeneinander antreten.

Ansprechpartner an der Uni Graz ist Univ.-Prof. Dr. Arnold Hanslmeier vom Institut für Physik.

Der Wettbewerb „Odysseus II“ wird von einem Konsortium aus 14 Mitgliedern aus elf EU-Mitgliedsstaaten organisiert und ist aus EU-Fördergeldern der Forschungsförderung HORIZON 2020 finanziert.

Das regionale Semifinale von „Odysseus II“ 2015/16 fand letzten Mai an der Uni Graz statt, koordiniert von Astrophysiker Arnold Hanslmeier. Als Siegerin in der Gruppe Explorer ging die Italienerin Alice Antonelli hervor. Sie präsentierte ein preisgünstiges Projekt, mit dem die Zusammensetzung der Erdatmosphäre bis in 25 Kilometer Höhe mittels eines Helium-Ballons gemessen werden kann.

Crystal-clear: AI method revolutionises solar observation

The Sun makes life on Earth possible. However, its magnetic fields can also cause massive disruption. This makes it all the more important to gain a better understanding of the processes taking place on our nearest star. A research team from the University of Graz and the High Altitude Observatory in Boulder (USA) has succeeded in doing just that. The astrophysicists have developed an AI-supported method that makes even the smallest structures on the Sun visible. The scientists are convinced that this will bring about a lasting change in solar observation and that the new method can be used for the planned European Solar Telescope.

Long Night of Research: How many languages are there in the world?

From a linguistic perspective, there are worlds of difference between Bern, Berlin and Vienna. A dialect impersonator will demonstrate live just how varied German can sound. How many languages are there in the world? What are their distinctive features? Which of these are spoken in Austria? These and other questions will be answered during the Long Night of Research at the University of Graz: on Friday, 24 April 2025, from 5 pm to 11 pm, in the University Library. Visitors can immerse themselves in the diversity of languages without travelling far by taking part in a quiz at the station.
