Chemietage an der Uni Graz bringen LehrerInnen neue Ideen für den Unterricht

Über 360 LehrerInnen der Fächer Chemie und Sachunterricht aus Österreich, Deutschland, der Schweiz, Liechtenstein und den Niederlanden treffen sich von 5. bis 7. April 2018 an der Uni Graz im Rahmen der 6. Chemietage. Die Fortbildungsveranstaltung des Verbands der Chemielehrer/innen Österreichs (VCÖ), die in Kooperation mit dem Fachdidaktikzentrum Chemie der Karl-Franzens-Universität organisiert wurde, verzeichnet damit ihren bisherigen TeilnehmerInnen-Rekord.

Vizerektor Martin Polaschek, der die Gäste herzlich willkommen hieß, verwies auf die Pionierleistungen in der PädagogInnenbildung NEU, die im Entwicklungsverbund Süd-Ost gemeinsam mit anderen Universitäten und den Pädagogischen Hochschulen in der Steiermark, in Kärnten und im Burgenland erzielt wurden. „An der Uni Graz wurden in den letzten Jahren insgesamt acht Professuren in den Bereichen Fachdidaktik und bildungswissenschaftliche Grundlagen eingerichtet“, unterstrich Polaschek.

Die Chemietage bieten ein vielfältiges Programm mit klarem Fokus auf die Praxis in der Schule. Neben vier Vorträgen – den Anfang machte Univ.Prof. Dr. Frank Madeo vom Institut für Molekulare Biowissenschaften zum Thema „Kausale Beziehung zwischen Ernährung und Gesundheit“ – wird in den 62 Workshops hauptsächlich experimentiert.

When stress melts away in your mouth: nicotine pouches are widespread among Styrian students

Sociologists at the University of Graz, in collaboration with VIVID – the Centre for Addiction Prevention, have carried out a survey involving more than 600 participants. Around a quarter of them use these products. The ability to use them discreetly and flexibly is a key motivation.

Desert sand, microplastics, cancer cells: David Clases awarded ERC grant for analytical method

Nanoparticles trapped in polar ice can reveal a great deal about the climate 100,000 years ago. Chemist David Clases is developing unique methods to analyse them in detail. He will now adapt these methods for use with larger particles in order to glean even more information about Earth’s history. The method can be used for a wide range of other purposes – for example, in medical diagnostics or the investigation of environmental pollution. Clases has been awarded a Proof-of-Concept Grant by the European Research Council (ERC) for this work.

Staying fit during the holidays: summer sports on the University of Graz campus

The Kleeblattlauf is not the end of the fitness term. Following last year’s successful launch, the University of Graz is once again offering summer sports on campus this year. From 30 June to 16 July 2026, there will be a free exercise programme in the open air. On the shady Südwiese (between the main building and Universitätsplatz 2), anyone interested can get in shape in the afternoons with body workouts, fascia training and yoga.

Getting even hotter: Researchers predict global warming of 1.7 degrees by 2027

While Europe is currently sweltering in the heat, global temperatures are also rising towards concerning record levels. In 2026, Earth’s surface air temperature is expected to reach 1.62 degrees, and in 2027 even 1.71 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels. The long-term temperature rise – an average over a 20-year period – is predicted to exceed the 1.5-degree threshold of the Paris Agreement as of 2026 already. For the first time, researchers at the University of Graz have been able to make such a forecast so far in advance. The intensifying El Niño climate event favors forecast skill and thereby facilitates a reliable computation.
