Konfuzius-Institut lud zum China-Abend

Fünfzig Jahre diplomatische Beziehungen zwischen Österreich und dem Reich der Mitte standen im Fokus des jüngsten China-Abends am 5. November 2021 in der Aula der Universität Graz. Dazu eingeladen hatte das Konfuzius-Institut, das sich seit 2010 als Plattform für die Förderung von chinesisch-steirischen Kooperationen in den Bereichen Kultur, Wirtschaft und Technologie versteht. Die Veranstaltungsreihe der China-Abende bietet besondere Gelegenheiten für Kommunikation und Vernetzung.

Nach Rektor Martin Polaschek begrüßten VertreterInnen der Politik, Wirtschaftskammer-Steiermark Direktor Karl-Heinz Dernoscheg sowie der Botschafter der Volksrepublik China Xiaosi Li und der General Manager der Bank of China Vienna Branch Jiandong Xu die Gäste zur Feier des Jubiläums.
Die kürzlich gegründete „Global Young Leaders Union“ bildete einen weiteren Programmschwerpunkt. Initiiert von Wan Jie Chen, Direktor des Konfuzius-Instituts an der Uni Graz, will das internationale Netzwerk junger Führungskräfte den globalen Austausch und eine nachhaltige Entwicklung insbesondere in den Bereichen Wirtschaft, Wissenschaft und Technologie, Bildung und Kultur unterstützen.

Um den wissenschaftlichen Nachwuchs zu fördern, hat das Konfuzius-Institut Graz neben seinen umfangreichen Stipendienprogrammen erstmals einen Dissertationspreis für Chinaforschung ausgeschrieben. Die mit 1000 Euro dotierte Auszeichnung wurde am China-Abend an Xuehong Nöst verliehen. In ihrer Doktorarbeit “A metabolomics approach for the holistic investigation of two complex herbal TCM formulations” hat die junge Forscherin zwei Arzneimischungen der Traditionellen Chinesischen Medizin untersucht, potenziell bioaktive Wirkstoffe identifiziert und Methoden für deren Qualitätskontrolle entwickelt.

Cosmetics in the environment: University of Graz proves danger to ants

Titanium dioxide, which is found in cosmetics, for example, is increasingly entering the environment in the form of nanoparticles. This could also put insects at risk. If ants ingest the substance in combination with the pesticide glyphosate, it disturbs the development of their offspring. Scientists at the University of Graz are drawing attention to the negative consequences of this toxic cocktail.

How are tech companies changing democracy? Uni Graz designs exhibition for schools

Filtered information, conspiracy theories, fake news – certain groups and corporations are using social media and algorithms to try to influence public opinion in their favour. Their goal: to weaken fundamental rights and diversity of opinion and seize power. In a new exhibition, researchers at the University of Graz are working with pupils to explore the impact of social media and AI on democracy. In accompanying workshops, the scientists want to encourage young people to develop their own ideas for a socially and ecologically viable future and to actively help shape it. The exhibition, designed as a travelling exhibition for schools, will open on 9 March 2026 at the Dreihackengasse Gymnasium in Graz.
