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.

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.

Around the world in eight stops: the Long Night of Research at the University of Graz

On 24 April from 5 pm, you can take a short trip around the globe at the University of Graz, discovering pecularities of foreign countries or new local features in the entrance hall of the University Library. The itinerary takes you through introduced animal species, political attitudes and the omnipotence of algorithms. There will also be a programme in the historic reading hall, as well as at the UniGraz@Museum and the University Archive.

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.

Austria has 77 higher education institutions, which is above the EU average – but does this really make sense? The new Higher Education Strategy 2040 focuses on cooperation rather than mergers. As one of the six largest universities in Austria, the University of Graz plays a central role in this.
