The University of Graz will once again be a pick-me-up on 24 April 2026. During the Austria-wide "Lange Nacht der Forschung", the campus invites you to gain extraordinary insights into science

In which countries do people grow particularly old? How do people greet each other around the globe? How do students live in the research station in Greenland?
In the foyer of the university library, you can take a short trip around the world on 24 April from 5 p.m. and discover other countries, other customs or new things from home. The itinerary runs along eight interactive stations about immigrant animal species, political attitudes or digital deep fakes. Admission is free.
