Die "Transatlantic Entrepreneurship Academy", eine Kooperation der Montclair State University und der Karl-Franzens-Universität Graz, befindet sich bereits in der dritten Runde.

Es wird wieder kräftig genetzwerkt: 20 Studierende aus Graz und 20 der Montclair State University wurden auch in diesem Jahr in einem zweiwöchigen Programm "Transatlantic Entrepreneurship Academy" zur Generierung von disruptiven Ideen gepusht. Nachdem die Grazer KollegInnen Anfang des Jahres in den USA zu Gast waren, beehren in dieser Woche die us-amerikanischen Studierenden die steirische Landeshauptstadt. Neben unterschiedlichen Workshops und auch Firmenbesuche steht am Donnerstag ein weiteres Highlight am Programm: Abends bekommen sie die Chance ihre Geschäftsideen live vor der Grazer Gründerszene in der Wirtschaftskammer Steiermark zu präsentieren.

Die Städte Graz und Montclair (Bundesstaat News Jersey) verbindet bereits seit Jahrzehnten eine enge Partnerschaft. Auch auf dem akademischen Sektor. So bieten beide Städte und auch Universitäten Stipendienprogramme an. Die "Transatlantic Entrepreneurship Academy" ist ein wichtiger Teil dieses Austausches, an der Universität Graz wird sie organisiert vom Zentrum für Entrepreneurship und angewandte Betriebswirtschaftslehre.

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.
