Die Bibliothek übersiedelte Teile ihrer wertvollsten Bestände aus Andritz zurück an den Campus

Vier Wochen waren 25 MitarbeiterInnen der Universitätsbibliothek Graz damit beschäftigt, die wertvollsten Bestände aus dem Ausweichquartier an ihren neuen Bestimmungsort Universitätsplatz 3a zu bringen. 100 Lkw-Fuhren waren notwendig um fast 800 Paletten mit Bücherschachteln zu bewegen. Doch warum gerade jetzt?

Zehn Monate nach Bezug des neuen Gebäudes passen nun auch die klimatischen Rahmenbedingungen – Temperatur und Luftfeuchtigkeit -, in denen die mehrere hundert Jahre alten Werke aufbewahrt werden müssen. „Wir haben in den vergangenen Wochen ungefähr 250.000 Bücher bewegt. Darunter auch Teile eines Bestandes, der aus einem Zwischenlager aus Lannach nach Andritz gebracht wurde“, sagt Ute Bergner, Mitarbeiterin der Sondersammlungen an der Universitätsbibliothek. Neben Werken aus dem 16. bis 19. Jahrhundert wurden auch etwa 7000 Landkarten, 800 historische und moderne Atlanten, 12 Nachlassbibliotheken und 5000 Sonderdrucke rückübersiedelt. Ab September wird dieser Bestand im neuen Handschriften-Lesezimmer im Zwischengeschoss der Hauptbibliothek wieder für BenutzerInnen zugänglich sein. 

Digitalisierung und Restaurierung
Ebenfalls zurück auf den Campus ist das Digitalisierungszentrum und die Restaurationswerkstätte der Universitätsbibliothek. Beide Werkstätten sind für die Forschungen an der UB Graz von enormer Bedeutung: Die Expertise des Digitalisierungszentraums ist weltweit gefragt, gerade auf dem Gebiet der Handschriftenforschung hat dieses Zentrum international ein Alleinstellungsmerkmal.

Jurassic Sounds: Biologist reconstructs insect songs from 165 million years ago

It was apparently not just the roars of the dinosaurs that made up the soundscape of the animal world during the Jurassic period. Crickets and grasshoppers communicated through a variety of songs and high-pitched sounds, as Thorin Jonsson from the Institute of Biology at the University of Graz discovered together with colleagues from the universities of Lincoln, Bristol (UK), Beijing (China) and Tempe (USA). The findings on what are so far the oldest traces of sound on Earth have just been published in the journal PNAS.

EU funding boosts international exchange between universities

The University of Graz is further expanding its international study opportunities through the European university alliance Arqus and is taking the lead in two key projects. In future, students will benefit from even more joint degree programmes and from simplified recognition of academic achievements through the Joint European Degree Label.

Rescue and risks: Researchers have surveyed public perceptions of AI

The use of artificial intelligence has had to be made transparent since 2 August 2026. The EU’s AI Act, which has been in force since then, also sets out how risky an application is and which security measures apply as a result. However, the assessment of risks by the legislation differs in some cases significantly from the perceptions of the Austrian public. This is the finding of a representative study carried out by data scientist Stefan Thalmann from the University of Graz and his team.

The Healing Sea: Researchers discover new approaches to treating chronic inflammation in sponges

Chronic inflammation plays a key role in many diseases, ranging from metabolic disorders and cardiovascular diseases to tissue damage following injuries or infections. “Normally, the body is able to resolve inflammation on its own. If this process becomes unbalanced, immune cells remain permanently active and continue to drive negative changes in the tissue,” explains Andreas Koeberle, a pharmacist at the University of Graz.
