TEMPUS-Projekt koordiniert Netzwerk in Albanien und dem Kosovo

In den vergangenen Jahren hat die Karl-Franzens-Universität Graz mit PartnerInnen aus Südosteuropa verstärkt auch über TEMPUS-Projekte kooperiert. Das TEMPUS-Programm der Europäischen Union fördert Projekte mit dem Ziel der Modernisierung des Hochschulwesens in den Partnerländern in Osteuropa, Zentralasien, dem westlichen Balkan und im Mittelmeerraum.

 

Eines der aktuelleren Beispiele, die in diesem Zusammenhang hervorzuheben sind, ist ein von der Universität Graz koordiniertes Tempus Projekt mit PartnerInnen aus Albanien und dem Kosovo. Der Projektvorschlag „ConSus: Connecting science-society collaborations for sustainability innovations“, der vom Team des RCE Graz-Styria unter der Leitung von O.Univ.-Prof. Dr. Friedrich Zimmermann ausgearbeitet und bei der letzten Antragsrunde im Rahmen des Tempus Programmes 2013 eingereicht wurde, konnte die GutachterInnen bei der Europäischen Kommission überzeugen.

 

Das Projekt, das sich im zweiten Jahr der Implementierung befindet, widmet sich einem der regionalen Schwerpunktthemen, die im Tempus Programm für die Region des Westlichen Balkan definiert sind. Ausgehend vom Schwerpunkt des Wissensdreiecks „Bildung, Forschung und Innovation“ soll im Rahmen des Projektes die Einführung eines Netzwerkes für nachhaltige Innovation in Albanien und dem Kosovo erzielt werden, das die Bereiche Wissenschaft und Gesellschaft zusammenführt.

 

Stellvertretend für die ProjektpartnerInnen wurde das RCE Graz-Styria für diese Anstrengungen im November 2014 von der globalen RCE Community und der United Nations University mit dem Recognition Award als „Outstanding Flagship Project“ ausgezeichnet.

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.
