In Würde altern – glücklich länger leben

Zwei Frauen Rücken an Rücken im Wasser

Dagmar Koller, Chris Lohner und Regina Roller-Wirnsberger diskutieren an der Uni Graz

In einem von Kosmetikwerbung und Jugendwahn geprägten Zeitgeist scheint das Faktum des Alterns immer mehr aus unserem Bewusstsein verdrängt zu werden. Noch nie waren so viele Menschen so lange aktiv und mobil, noch nie waren aber zugleich so viele Menschen in Pflegeheimen untergebracht.
Wie lässt sich das Altern würdevoll gestalten? Woher nimmt die „Generation 50plus“ ihr Selbstbewusstsein? Ab wann gilt man heute überhaupt als alt? Diesen und vielen weiteren Fragen widmet sich ein prominent besetzte Podiums- und Publikumsdiskussion am 15. Oktober 2012 an der Uni Graz:
- Dagmar Koller, Schauspielerin und Sängerin (Jahrgang 1939)
- Chris Lohner, Moderatorin und Autorin (Jahrgang 1943)
- Regina Roller-Wirnsberger, Professorin für Geriatrie an der Medizinischen Universität Graz (Jahrgang 1965)
- Peter Kieswetter, Seniorenstudent (Jahrgang 1947)

Moderation: Gregor Withalm

In Würde altern. Glücklich länger leben
WANN: Montag, 15. Oktober 2012, 19 Uhr
WO: Aula, Hauptgebäude der Karl-Franzens-Universität Graz

Der Eintritt ist frei, eine Anmeldung erforderlich:
E-Mail: sieben(at)uni-graz.at

Die Podiumsdiskussion findet im Rahmen der 7. fakultät, des Zentrums für Gesellschaft, Wissen und Kommunikation, statt und wird vom Wissenschaftsressort des Landes Steiermark unterstützt.

ERC Starting Grants: three million euros for two researchers at the University of Graz

Austria’s emissions rose in 2025: University of Graz researchers analyse the causes

The Environment Agency Austria has today published the figures for the country’s greenhouse gas emissions in 2025. While emissions fell sharply year on year from 2022 to 2024, they rose again by just under 0.7 per cent in 2025. Researchers at the University of Graz have analysed how much of this increase was due to structural changes in the economy and how much was attributable to external factors over which there is little control. “In 2025, the colder winter compared with 2024 increased emissions by 0.81 per cent, while the weak economy reduced them by 0.38 per cent. If we factor out these influences, we find an underlying increase of 0.26 per cent compared with the previous year,” reports economist Karl Steininger. “This clearly means that Austria is not on track to meet its climate targets, which require a substantial reduction in emissions by 2030.”

Electrifying: Researchers film the first moments on the way from light to electricity

Physicists at the University of Graz (Austria), in collaboration with colleagues from Marburg University and Forschungszentrum Jülich (Germany), have achieved a scientific breakthrough. For the first time, the generation of electrical energy from light has been filmed and described theoretically. This work is of far-reaching significance, not least for optimising sustainable energy production from photovoltaics. This is because it provides fundamental building blocks for understanding the physical processes that take place, for example, in organic solar cells. The paper was published in the journal Physical Review X, one of the world’s most prestigious physics journals.
