Veranstaltung am 4. Juli präsentiert wirtschaftliches Potenzial der Forschungsinitiative BioTechMed-Graz

Die Karl-Franzens-Universität Graz, die Medizinische Universität Graz und die TU Graz haben im Frühjahr 2012 die gemeinsame Initiative BioTechMed-Graz ins Leben gerufen, um die Kooperation und Vernetzung der drei Unis zu intensivieren und Spitzenforschung am Standort zu stärken. Am 4. Juli 2013 werden bei einer Veranstaltung am Zentrum für Medizinische Grundlagenforschung der Med Uni Graz ausgewählte neue wissenschaftliche Erkenntnisse sowie Best Practice Beispiele aus der Wirtschaft vorgestellt, um auch das ökonomische Potenzial der Forschungsinitiative aufzuzeigen.

Ziel von BioTechMed-Graz ist es, gemeinsame Aktivitäten der Partneruniversitäten im Themenfeld Gesundheit zu fördern. An der Schnittstelle von Biomedizinischen Grundlagen, Technologischen Entwicklungen und Medizinischer Anwendung werden Kompetenzen in den Bereichen „Molekulare Biomedizin“, „Neurowissenschaften“, „Pharmazeutische und Medizinische Technologie“ und „Quantitative Biomedizin und Modellierung“ gebündelt.

Die von der Industriellenvereinigung Steiermark gemeinsam mit der Steirischen Wirtschaftsförderung SFG organisierte Veranstaltung schlägt eine Brücke zwischen Forschung und Wirtschaft. Sie soll steirischen Unternehmen ermöglichen, von BioTechMed-Graz zu profitieren und neue Kooperationen vorantreiben.

Talent Talks bridge the gap in career guidance

The Styrian Chamber of Commerce (WKO Steiermark), the Styrian Chamber of Labour (AK Steiermark) and the AMS are joining forces when it comes to training young people and, through the “Talent Talks”, are creating a seamless pathway to career guidance. This takes preparation and follow-up support – just in time for the start of the term and the scheme’s tenth anniversary – to a whole new level. A new survey conducted by the Talent Centre among 2,687 former participants to mark the anniversary shows just how important this development is. Of the young people who received follow-up support from the Talent Report, 74.6 per cent stated that they had a good understanding of their own strengths and talents following the Talent Check. Without follow-up support, the figure was 66.5 per cent – a significant difference of 8.1 percentage points.

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.”
