Auch Minister Stöger hat der Himbeerkavier geschmeckt.

Geschmackslabor der Uni Graz „kochte“ Forum Alpbach ein

Mit Himbeerkaviar und weiteren Köstlichkeiten der Molekularen Küche – garniert mit knackiger Wissenschaft – begeisterten Fritz Treiber und das Team vom Geschmackslabor der Uni Graz auch die BesucherInnen des diesjährigen Forum Alpbach in Tirol. Im Rahmen des Talente-Cocktails am 26. August 2015, bei dem Infrastruktur-Minister Alois Stöger Stipendien an 50 junge ForscherInnen verlieh, erklärte Treiber, wie viel Geschmack und Wissenschaft in den Speisen steckt. Mit Hilfe von zwei StipendiatInnen wurden vor dem Publikum Kostproben aus der Molekularen Küche hergestellt, erklärt und anschließend unter viel hmmm und aaaah von den zahlreichen Gästen verspeist.

Mild Research Night: Around 750 visitors travelled around the world at the university

Lovely weather and a wide range of research topics drew visitors to the University of Graz last Friday. Highlights included a journey around the globe in eight stops, a ‘speed-dating’ session with books, insights into Alfred Wegener’s Greenland expedition, and guided tours of the democracy exhibition at the UniGraz@Museum.

Career Booster: How the Research Careers Campus supports researchers

They are innovative, creative and productive – researchers who have not yet been appointed to a professorship make a massive contribution to a university’s research output. To provide them with even better support on their career path, the University of Graz has established the Research Careers Campus. The official launch took place on 22 April 2026 with a ‘festival’.

Greenery on the rise: over 500 new flowers, perennials and shrubs on campus

Bright blooms and fresh greenery make our hearts beat faster in spring. But it is not just us humans who delight in this colourful growth. For many animals, this splendour provides, above all, food and habitat. There has recently been an increase in this on the University of Graz campus. More than 500 native flowers, perennials and shrubs have been planted on strips of fallow land around Universitätsplatz 2.

Building biological bridges: Chemist discovers an ecological tool for the pharmaceutical industry

Building a relationship on a solid foundation is also important in chemistry. To produce medicines, disinfectants or plant protection products, stable bonds between carbon atoms must be formed. Conventional chemical methods rely on environmentally harmful reagents and solvents to carry out the desired reaction. This process also produces unusable by-products. Chemist Lilla Gal has discovered an enzyme that enables the same process to take place efficiently and sustainably. The results of her research were recently published in the prestigious journal Angewandte Chemie.
