Uni-Graz-Wissensquiz Brain Game am 22. März 2017

Wenn knifflige Fragen und spannende Geschicklichkeitsspiele aus der Welt der Wissenschaft auf motivierte KandidatInnen treffen, wird die Aula der Karl-Franzens-Universität Graz zur Showbühne. Die „7. fakultät”, das Zentrum für Gesellschaft, Wissen und Kommunikation an der Uni Graz, präsentiert die fünfte Auflage des Wissensquiz Brain Game am 22. März 2017.

Zwei motivierte Teams – bestehend aus sechs Studierenden und sechs Lehrenden aller sechs Fakultäten – treten in einem unterhaltsamen und gleichsam mitreißenden Wissenschafts-Wettbewerb gegeneinander an. Bereits in den vergangenen Jahren konnte Brain Game die ZuschauerInnen massenhaft begeistern. Nach einem fairen Kampf zwischen beiden Teams gewannen nach 2013 auch bei der letzten Braingame-Ausgabe 2015 die Studierenden wieder den Titel.

Termin: Brain Game – das Wissensquiz der Uni Graz
Zeit: Mittwoch, 22. April 2017, 19.00 Uhr
Ort: Aula der Karl-Franzens-Universität Graz, Universitätsplatz 3

Der Eintritt ist frei, eine Anmeldung unter andrea.penz(at)uni-graz.at erforderlich

Baby health: University of Graz is seeking study participants to investigate early risk factors

Why does the body composition of babies vary so much? Some children gain a significant amount of fat mass within a few weeks, whilst others show hardly any change over the same period. “At the same time, initial observations suggest that fat distribution in all babies may follow a similar pattern, regardless of their total body fat,” explains Marco Höfler from the Institute of Movement Sciences, Sport and Health at the University of Graz. He is coordinating the research project ‘Small Bodies – Big Questions’, for which participants are currently still being sought: pregnant women and babies up to four weeks old.

In hot water: New Report reveals record losses in glaciers, permafrost and snow cover

Climate change is driving up temperatures not only in summer. Winters are also getting warmer – with dramatic consequences for glaciers, permafrost, snow cover and the freezing of lakes. The recently published cryosphere report provides specific figures for Austria. “Our monitoring shows a clear trend with record losses of ice and snow,” says project leader Wolfgang Schöner from the University of Graz.

Theologian at the University of Graz: What the excommunication of the Society of St Pius X

Following the schism involving the Society of St Pius X, there is a need for discussion. Bernd Hillebrand from the University of Graz explains why the Vatican took this step, what role anti-democratic tendencies play, and why the Society’s sacraments are no longer recognised as valid under canon law for Catholics with immediate effect.

“HeinrichBiCool”: University of Graz demonstrates the effects of green facades and roofs

The University of Graz has launched a pioneering project at the University Centre for Theology. Its name, “HeinrichBiCool”, says it all: a comprehensive system of green facades and roof will cool the building at Heinrichstraße 80 during the summer. At the same time, this will create a new habitat for plants and animals, helping to increase biodiversity. The accompanying monitoring programme will provide detailed data on the impact of the measures on indoor climate, energy consumption and biodiversity. The findings will lay a scientifically sound foundation for further projects aimed at making cities sustainable, climate-resilient and liveable. The partners in this project, funded by the Austrian Research Promotion Agency (FFG), are AEE INTEC – Institute for Sustainable Technologies, Technisches Büro Siegfried Stark, the landscape architecture and urban planning firm “studio boden”, and Ökoteam Graz.
