Das Programm TEA vereint UnternehmerInnen der Zukunft aus Graz und Montclair, New Jersey

In der Wirtschaft gilt wie in der Wissenschaft: Teamwork, vernetztes Denken und internationale Kontakte führen zum Erfolg. Dieses Prinzip den UnternehmerInnen von morgen aus zwei Kontinenten näher zu bringen, ist Ziel der Annual Transatlantic Entrepreneurship Academy Graz-Montclair, kurz TEA, die heute offiziell im Meerscheinschlössl gestartet wurde. 20 Studierende aus Graz werden gemeinsam mit 17 KollegInnen aus der Schwesterstadt Montclair, New Jersey, in den kommenden zwei Wochen vielversprechende Produkte oder Dienstleistungen für morgen konzipieren und sich außergewöhnlichen Herausforderung stellen. Dabei wird eine Woche in Graz und eine weitere Woche in Montclair bzw. New York absolviert.

Im Rahmen der Plattform geht es aber nicht nur um den Austausch kreativer Einfälle, sondern auch darum, die Startup-Systeme in Europa und Amerika wechselseitig kennenzulernen, unterschiedliche Herangehensweisen zum Thema Entrepreneurship nachvollziehbar zu machen und langfristige Partnerschaften aufzubauen. Davon profitieren aber nicht nur die TeilnehmerInnen: Auch die beiden Standorte in der Steiermark und New Jersey mit ihren Angehörigen sollen in Zukunft idealerweise den positiven Schwung eines neuen Wirtschaftsgeistes verspüren.

TEA ist eine Kooperation des Zentrums für Entrepreneurship und angewandte BWL in Kooperation mit dem Feliciano Center for Entrepreneurship der Montclair State University MSU. Die MSU ist eine langjährige Partneruniversität der Universität Graz, natürlich besonders durch die seit 1950 bestehende Städtepartnerschaft Graz - Montclair.

 

Entrepreneurship und Start-ups

Die Karl-Franzens-Universität fördert den Unternehmergeist ihrer Studierenden gezielt und frühzeitig. In der Lehrveranstaltung „Gründungsgarage“ aus dem TIMEGATE-Programm, das über 600 TeilnehmerInnen aus allen Fakultäten anzieht, beispielsweise coachen MentorInnen aus der Praxis junge Wirtschaftstalente rund um den Prozess einer Unternehmensgründung. Das akademische Gründerzentrum Science Park Graz sowie das erst kürzlich aus der Taufe gehobene Gründungsbüro bieten zudem den idealen Nährboden, um innovative Ideen zum Wachsen zu bringen.

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

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.
