"Lass Wissen wachsen" hilft dem Botanischen Garten beim Gedeihen. Landeshauptmann-Stellvertreter Michael Schickhofer ist Pate der Sommerlinde

Es ist Frühling im Botanischen Garten. Blumen blühen, Bienen summen, Bäume grünen. Gerade unter den Botanik-FreundInnen ist der Garten in der Schubertstraße 59 Naherholungsgebiet und Ort der Wissenschaft zugleich. Mit einem eigenen Fundraising-Projekt, das genau vor einem Jahr ins Leben gerufen wurde, möchte die Universität Graz diesen Ort besonders würdigen. Zumal der Garten in diesem Jahr ein Jubiläum feiert. „ForscherInnen der Universität Graz erarbeiten Lösungen für Fragen der Zukunft. Der Botanische Garten ist ein einerseits Ort, an dem Grundlagen für wissenschaftliche Erkenntnisse gewonnen werden. Und andererseits ein Ort, an dem Wissenschaft für die Öffentlichkeit sichtbar ist und erlebbar wird", sagt Peter Riedler, Vizerektor für Finanzen, Ressourcen und Standortentwicklung.

Was viele nicht wissen, der Botanische Garten Graz zog vor genau 130 Jahren aus dem Grazer Stadtgebiet in die grüne Schubertstraße; diesem Ereignis will man freilich Rechnung tragen und so wurde mit der Initiative "Lass Wissen wachsen" eine bislang einmalige Aktion gestartet. Mittels Pflanzen- und Quartierpatenschaften soll Geld für die Sanierung der Wege gesammelt und die Attraktivität und Sichtbarkeit des Botanischen Gartens erhöht werden. Jüngst hat Michael Schickhofer, Landeshauptmann-Stellvertreter der Steiermark, eine Patenschaft für die Sommerlinde, zu der er einen persönlichen Bezug hat, übernommen. Vizerektor Riedler übergab die Urkunde feierlich.

Fair distribution: Researchers determine just greenhouse gas budgets for all EU regions

Ten years ago, on 12 December 2015, the Paris Climate Agreement was signed at the UN Climate Conference. In order to limit global warming to well below two degrees, only a certain amount of CO2 may be emitted worldwide. While the focus was originally on national emission targets, more than 200 subnational regions and almost 300 cities have now adopted their own targets. But how many emissions are they fairly entitled to? Researchers at the University of Graz have now developed transparent criteria for fair distribution at the subnational level for the first time and determined corresponding greenhouse gas budgets for all European regions. The paper was published today in the scientific journal Nature Communications.

Train by train: Koralm railway accelerates exchange between the Universities

Lectures at the University of Klagenfurt in the morning, seminars at the University of Graz in the afternoon: Austria's longest tunnel and a journey time of around 45 minutes make it easy. The Koralm railway increases the speed of networking between the two university locations. The collaboration builds on existing cooperation - for example in the areas of teacher training, Slavic studies and as employers, the universities are well coordinated.
