Das heißeste Fest des Jahres: der 15. Multikultiball zum Semesterabschluss

Heißer, heißer, Multikultiball: Stimmung und Sommerhitze brachten die knapp 2.000 Gäste des 15. Multikultiballs am 30. Juni 2012 an der Uni Graz kräftig ins Schwitzen. Hauptgebäude, Innenhof und die Universitätsbibliothek luden zu einer kulinarischen und kulturellen Weltreise.
„Die Karl-Franzens-Universität versteht sich als Ort der Begegnung und des Dialogs für WissenschafterInnen und Studierende aus den verschiedensten Kulturkreisen“, betonte Rektorin Christa Neuper bei der Eröffnung in der Aula. Ball-Organisatorin Dr. Claudia Unger, Leiterin des Afro-Asiatischen Instituts, unterstrich den guten Zweck des bunten Festes: „Der Reinerlös des Balls fließt in das Stipendienprogramm des Afro-Asiatischen Instituts, wodurch Studierende aus Afrika, Asien und Lateinamerika die Möglichkeit erhalten, in Österreich zu studieren.“

Ehrengast des 15. Multikulti-Balls war Dr. Karin Kneissl. Die unabhängige Korrespondentin (Die Presse, NZZ) und Kommentatorin politischer Entwicklungen unterrichtet in Wien und Beirut im Bereich internationale Beziehungen und hat zwei wirtschaftspolitische Sachbücher verfasst.

Für besondere Verdienste um Integration und das Engagement für das interkulturelle Zusammenleben erhielt Gilbert Prilasnig die Multikulti-Card. Der ehemalige Sturm-Graz-Spieler und Absolvent der Uni Graz engagiert sich seit 2004 sozial als Teamchef der österreichischen Obdachlosen-Nationalmannschaft und bereitet sie auf die jährlich stattfindende Fußballweltmeisterschaft „Homeless-World-Cup“ vor.

Cosmetics in the environment: University of Graz proves danger to ants

Titanium dioxide, which is found in cosmetics, for example, is increasingly entering the environment in the form of nanoparticles. This could also put insects at risk. If ants ingest the substance in combination with the pesticide glyphosate, it disturbs the development of their offspring. Scientists at the University of Graz are drawing attention to the negative consequences of this toxic cocktail.
