Festakt am 8. März zum 80. Geburtstag von Helmut Seel an der Uni Graz

Em. Univ.-Prof. Dr. Helmut Seel, Professor für Allgemeine Pädagogik und Schulpädagogik an der Universität Graz, feierte am 28. Februar 2013 seinen 80. Geburtstag. Bekannt war und ist Seel durch seine Pionierarbeit für die Schulreform und Reform der LehrerInnenbildung in Östereich wie auch als Doyen der österreichischen Schulpädagogik. Die Karl-Franzens-Universität Graz nimmt den runden Geburtstag des Nationalratsabgeordneten a.D. und Dekan der Geisteswissenschaftlichen Fakultät von 1977 bis 1979 zum Anlass und lädt am Freitag, den 8. März 2013, um 10 Uhr zu einem Festakt. Am Programm stehen Impulsreferate von Univ.-Doz. Dr. Andreas Schnider und Univ.-Prof. Dr. Georg Hans Neuweg zur aktuellen LehrerInnenbildungs-Reform mit anschließender Podiums- und Publikumsdiskussion. Eine kontroversielle Ausleuchtung der Thematik ist zu erwarten.

Helmut Seel, geboren 1933 in Hollabrunn (Niederösterreich), startete seine Laufbahn als Volks- und Hauptschullehrer. Nach einem Pädagogik-Studium an der Uni Graz und mehreren Jahren als Professor an der Bundeslehrerbildungsanstalt und der Pädagogischen Akademie des Bundes in Linz, habilitierte er sich 1972 und leitete bis 1977 die Abteilung I des Zentrums für Schulversuche und Schulentwicklung des Bundesministeriums für Unterricht und Kunst in Klagenfurt. Als ordentlicher Professor für Pädagogik kam Seel 1972 an die Universität Graz. Er war Obmann der Fachgruppe „Hochschullehrer im Bund Sozialistischer Akademiker“ und Mitglied der Schulreformkommission. Von 1983 bis 1987 sowie 1988 bis 1994 bekleidete er das Amt eines Abgeordneten zum Nationalrat. Helmut Seel ist Träger des Ehrentitels „Bürger der Stadt Graz“ und mehrerer hochkarätiger Auszeichnungen.

Talent Talks bridge the gap in career guidance

The Styrian Chamber of Commerce (WKO Steiermark), the Styrian Chamber of Labour (AK Steiermark) and the AMS are joining forces when it comes to training young people and, through the “Talent Talks”, are creating a seamless pathway to career guidance. This takes preparation and follow-up support – just in time for the start of the term and the scheme’s tenth anniversary – to a whole new level. A new survey conducted by the Talent Centre among 2,687 former participants to mark the anniversary shows just how important this development is. Of the young people who received follow-up support from the Talent Report, 74.6 per cent stated that they had a good understanding of their own strengths and talents following the Talent Check. Without follow-up support, the figure was 66.5 per cent – a significant difference of 8.1 percentage points.

Austria’s emissions rose in 2025: University of Graz researchers analyse the causes

The Environment Agency Austria has today published the figures for the country’s greenhouse gas emissions in 2025. While emissions fell sharply year on year from 2022 to 2024, they rose again by just under 0.7 per cent in 2025. Researchers at the University of Graz have analysed how much of this increase was due to structural changes in the economy and how much was attributable to external factors over which there is little control. “In 2025, the colder winter compared with 2024 increased emissions by 0.81 per cent, while the weak economy reduced them by 0.38 per cent. If we factor out these influences, we find an underlying increase of 0.26 per cent compared with the previous year,” reports economist Karl Steininger. “This clearly means that Austria is not on track to meet its climate targets, which require a substantial reduction in emissions by 2030.”
