Grazer Forscher unter den Top 10 des Rudolf Sallinger Fonds

Vom Labor auf den Ladentisch: Der S&B-Award des Rudolf Sallinger Fonds zeichnet Ideen aus, die wissenschaftliche Erkenntnisse als Grundlage für die Entwicklung konkreter Produkte aufgreifen. Den mit 20.000 Euro dotierten ersten Platz unter zehn Nominierungen errangen dieses Jahr Univ.-Prof. Dr. Ute Schäfer, Univ.-Prof. Dr. Clemens Holzer, DI Stefan Hampel, DI Peter Freigassner, OA Dr. Gord von Campe, DI Matthias Katschnig, Dr. Alois Tax und Dr. Muamer Ücal von der Medizinischen Universität Graz für ihr Projekt "iPrint - Implant Printing". Damit sollen in Zukunft die rasche Herstellung passgenauer Implantate mittels 3D-Druck während einer Operation zur Reparatur zerstörter Schädelknochen möglich sein.

> Das Webradio der Grazer Universitäten berichtete

Unter den Top 10, die für den S&B-Award nominiert waren, waren auch zwei Teams mit Beteiligung der Karl-Franzens-Universität Graz: Univ.-Prof. Dr. Frank Madeo und Dr. Slaven Stekovic vom Institut für Molekulare Biowissenschaften der Karl-Franzens-Universität Graz für ihr Start-up-Unternehmen „TLL The Longevity Labs“ (deutsch: Die Langlebigkeits-Labore), in dem sie das erste Nahrungsergänzungsmittel produzieren und vertreiben, das auf pflanzlichem Spermidin basiert. Die natürliche Substanz bremst den Zellalterungsprozess. 

Für den S&B-Award ebenfalls nominiert waren Univ.-Prof. Dr. Kristian Bredies vom Institut für Mathematik und Wissenschaftliches Rechnen der Karl-Franzens-Universität und Assoz.-Prof. Dr. Christian Langkammer von der Klinischen Abteilung für allgemeine Neurologie der Medizinischen Universität Graz. Gemeinsam entwarfen sie ein Magnetresonanztomographie-Verfahren (MRT), das eine deutlich präzisere Elektrodenplatzierung für tiefe Hirnstimulationen erlaubt. Diese sind zur Behandlung von Parkinson-PatientInnen essenziell.

Die Plätze Zwei bis Zehn des S&B-Award erhalten gratis Mentoringleistungen und andere Unterstützungsangebote für ihre Kommerzialisierungsideen. Seit seiner Gründung im Jahr 1979 hat der Rudolf Sallinger Fonds über 400 junge Akademikerinnen und Akademiker für ihre herausragenden wissenschaftlichen Leistungen zu mittelstandsrelevanten Fragestellungen ausgezeichnet.

In hot water: New Report reveals record losses in glaciers, permafrost and snow cover

Climate change is driving up temperatures not only in summer. Winters are also getting warmer – with dramatic consequences for glaciers, permafrost, snow cover and the freezing of lakes. The recently published cryosphere report provides specific figures for Austria. “Our monitoring shows a clear trend with record losses of ice and snow,” says project leader Wolfgang Schöner from the University of Graz.

Theologian at the University of Graz: What the excommunication of the Society of St Pius X

Following the schism involving the Society of St Pius X, there is a need for discussion. Bernd Hillebrand from the University of Graz explains why the Vatican took this step, what role anti-democratic tendencies play, and why the Society’s sacraments are no longer recognised as valid under canon law for Catholics with immediate effect.

“HeinrichBiCool”: University of Graz demonstrates the effects of green facades and roofs

The University of Graz has launched a pioneering project at the University Centre for Theology. Its name, “HeinrichBiCool”, says it all: a comprehensive system of green facades and roof will cool the building at Heinrichstraße 80 during the summer. At the same time, this will create a new habitat for plants and animals, helping to increase biodiversity. The accompanying monitoring programme will provide detailed data on the impact of the measures on indoor climate, energy consumption and biodiversity. The findings will lay a scientifically sound foundation for further projects aimed at making cities sustainable, climate-resilient and liveable. The partners in this project, funded by the Austrian Research Promotion Agency (FFG), are AEE INTEC – Institute for Sustainable Technologies, Technisches Büro Siegfried Stark, the landscape architecture and urban planning firm “studio boden”, and Ökoteam Graz.
