Der Physik-Nobelpreisträger Gerard ´t Hooft sprach über seine Forschung. Er besuchte die Uni Graz auch, weil ein Doktoratskolleg Bilanz feierte

Spitzenforschung macht die Universität Graz international sichtbar. Unsere WissenschafterInnen tragen mit ihrer Arbeit Entscheidendes dazu bei, die Gesellschaft von morgen zu gestalten. Ein sehr gutes Beispiel dafür ist das Doktoratskolleg (DK) „Hadronen im Vakuum, in Kernen und Sternen“. Exzellenter wissenschaftlicher Nachwuchs wurde in den vergangenen zwölf Jahren durch internationalen Austausch und Zugang zu aktuellen Forschungsergebnissen gefördert. Insgesamt investierten Wissenschaftsfonds FWF, Universität Graz und Land Steiermark 4,7 Millionen Euro in das erfolgreiche Projekt.

Die Bilanz kann sich sehen lassen: Immerhin waren bislang knapp 60 DissertantInnen aus 17 Nationen im Doktoratskolleg beschäftigt, 42 haben auf dem Gebiet der Teilchenphysik promoviert, drei davon sogar sub auspiciis, resümierte Univ.-Prof. Dr. Christoph Gattringer, Leiter des DK und Dekan der Naturwissenschaftlichen Fakultät, beim Festkolloquium am 27. Februar 2018 im Meerscheinschlössl. In den vergangenen Tagen traf sich die Teilchenphysik-Welt in Graz, in mehreren Workshops und rund 40 Vorträgen tauschen sich WissenschafterInnen aus. Den Auftakt zum Festkolloquium gab Robert Pisarski vom Brookhaven National Laboratory. Als „Highlight der Veranstaltung“ zog der niederländische Physiker Gerard `t Hooft (Universität Utrecht), der gemeinsam mit Martin Veltman 1999 den Nobelpreis für Physik bekommen hat, mit dem Vortrag „Schwarze Löcher und Quantenmechanik“ das (Fach-)Publikum in seinen Bann. Vizerektorin Renate Dworczak, die zu ihren Agenden auch die wissenschaftliche Lehr- und Forschungskooperation NAWI Graz zählt, begrüßte den Ehrengast und das Publikum im Namen der Universität.

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.
