Die Transatlantic Entrepreneurship Academy hilft Studierenden, ihre disruptiven Ideen zu Geschäftsmodellen zu formen

Innovative Ansätze für Start-up-Ideen, kreative Geschäftsmodelle, originelle Lehrmethoden: Das macht die Transatlantic Entrepreneurship Academy (TEA) aus. Das Programm, das von der Karl-Franzens-Universität gemeinsam mit der Partneruniversität Montclair State University (MSU) in New Jersey, USA, heuer zum zweiten Mal veranstaltet wird, hilft Studierenden dabei, die besten Ideen für die Arbeitswelt von morgen zu entwickeln. Auch die Möglichkeit, längerfristige Partnerschaften zu schließen sowie die gezielte Erweiterung des persönlichen Netzwerks sind bewusst Teil der TEA.

20 TeilnehmerInnen aus der Steiermark sowie 19 junge AmerikanerInnen waren gestern beim Auftakt des vierzehntägigen Intensiv-Programms dabei. Vizerektor Peter Riedler begrüßte die Jung-UnternehmerInnen vor morgen gemeinsam mit Christian Klamer, Vizestudiendekan der Sozial- und Wirtschaftswissenschaftlichen Fakultät. Seitens der MSU waren Jason Frasca und Iain Kerr vom Mix Lab bei der Eröffnung mit dabei. Das MixLab ist ein innovativer Raum, in dem Gedanken in die Tat umgesetzt werden können. Das Angebot reicht von Kursen zur Innovation bis hin zu 3D-Druckern, die von den Studierenden genutzt werden können. Zehn Teams entwerfen ab sofort ihre - frei nach Joseph Schumpeter - "disruptive Ideen", eine Woche lang in Graz und eine Woche in Amerika. Bereits jetzt feilen drei der Teams schon an ihrer Selbstständigkeit.

 

Entrepreneurship und Start-ups

Die Karl-Franzens-Universität fördert den Unternehmergeist ihrer Studierenden gezielt und frühzeitig. In der Lehrveranstaltung „Gründungsgarage“ aus dem TIMEGATE-Programm, das über 600 TeilnehmerInnen aus allen Fakultäten anzieht, beispielsweise coachen MentorInnen aus der Praxis junge Wirtschaftstalente rund um den Prozess einer Unternehmensgründung. Das akademische Gründerzentrum Science Park Graz sowie das Gründungsbüro bieten zudem den idealen Nährboden, um innovative Ideen zum Wachsen zu bringen.

Jurassic Sounds: Biologist reconstructs insect songs from 165 million years ago

It was apparently not just the roars of the dinosaurs that made up the soundscape of the animal world during the Jurassic period. Crickets and grasshoppers communicated through a variety of songs and high-pitched sounds, as Thorin Jonsson from the Institute of Biology at the University of Graz discovered together with colleagues from the universities of Lincoln, Bristol (UK), Beijing (China) and Tempe (USA). The findings on what are so far the oldest traces of sound on Earth have just been published in the journal PNAS.

EU funding boosts international exchange between universities

The University of Graz is further expanding its international study opportunities through the European university alliance Arqus and is taking the lead in two key projects. In future, students will benefit from even more joint degree programmes and from simplified recognition of academic achievements through the Joint European Degree Label.

Rescue and risks: Researchers have surveyed public perceptions of AI

The use of artificial intelligence has had to be made transparent since 2 August 2026. The EU’s AI Act, which has been in force since then, also sets out how risky an application is and which security measures apply as a result. However, the assessment of risks by the legislation differs in some cases significantly from the perceptions of the Austrian public. This is the finding of a representative study carried out by data scientist Stefan Thalmann from the University of Graz and his team.

The Healing Sea: Researchers discover new approaches to treating chronic inflammation in sponges

Chronic inflammation plays a key role in many diseases, ranging from metabolic disorders and cardiovascular diseases to tissue damage following injuries or infections. “Normally, the body is able to resolve inflammation on its own. If this process becomes unbalanced, immune cells remain permanently active and continue to drive negative changes in the tissue,” explains Andreas Koeberle, a pharmacist at the University of Graz.
