Menschen mit HIV im Arbeitsleben: Uni Graz bekräftigt diskriminierungsfreien Umgang

Anders als mit COVID-19 lässt es sich mit einer anderen weltweiten Erkrankung häufig gut leben. Der Welt-AIDS-Tag morgen, den 1. Dezember rückt sowohl die Krankheit auch HIV-positive Menschen in den Mittelpunkt. Auch wenn es erfolgreiche Strategien gegen die Erkrankung gibt, unter Vorurteilen leiden aber nach wie vor viele. Dabei können die meisten bei rechtzeitiger Diagnose und Therapie die Arbeit und den Alltag hervorragend meistern.

Daher haben die AIDS-Hilfen Österreich die Initiative „Respekt und Selbstverständlichkeit für einen diskriminierungsfreien Umgang mit HIV-positiven Menschen im Arbeitsleben“ gestartet. Mehr als 80 Unternehmen in Deutschland haben eine derartige Deklaration schon unterzeichnet. Anlässlich des internationalen AIDS-Tages sind zahlreiche Betriebe und Institutionen in Österreich dem Beispiel gefolgt und haben die Erklärung unterschrieben. So auch die Universität Graz.
„Als einer der größten ArbeitgeberInnen der Steiermark setzt die Universität Graz damit ein weiteres Zeichen gegen Intoleranz, Ausgrenzung und Diskriminierung“, begründet Personal-Vizerektor Peter Riedler. Und Riedler verweist auf zahlreiche organisatorische Einheiten sowie Maßnahmen, die sowohl MitarbeiterInnen als auch Studierende für Gleichstellung und gegen Benachteiligung unterstützen.

Career Booster: How the Research Careers Campus supports researchers

They are innovative, creative and productive – researchers who have not yet been appointed to a professorship make a massive contribution to a university’s research output. To provide them with even better support on their career path, the University of Graz has established the Research Careers Campus. The official launch took place on 22 April 2026 with a ‘festival’.

Greenery on the rise: over 500 new flowers, perennials and shrubs on campus

Bright blooms and fresh greenery make our hearts beat faster in spring. But it is not just us humans who delight in this colourful growth. For many animals, this splendour provides, above all, food and habitat. There has recently been an increase in this on the University of Graz campus. More than 500 native flowers, perennials and shrubs have been planted on strips of fallow land around Universitätsplatz 2.

Building biological bridges: Chemist discovers an ecological tool for the pharmaceutical industry

Building a relationship on a solid foundation is also important in chemistry. To produce medicines, disinfectants or plant protection products, stable bonds between carbon atoms must be formed. Conventional chemical methods rely on environmentally harmful reagents and solvents to carry out the desired reaction. This process also produces unusable by-products. Chemist Lilla Gal has discovered an enzyme that enables the same process to take place efficiently and sustainably. The results of her research were recently published in the prestigious journal Angewandte Chemie.

Higher Education Strategy 2040: Austria’s universities on course for the future

Austria has 77 higher education institutions, which is above the EU average – but does this really make sense? The new Higher Education Strategy 2040 focuses on cooperation rather than mergers. As one of the six largest universities in Austria, the University of Graz plays a central role in this.
