Wie epochale Krisen und Neuanfänge die steirische Landesgeschichte prägten

Der Angriffskrieg Russlands auf die Ukraine markiert gerade die geopolitisch wohl größte Zäsur in der Geschichte Europas seit dem Zweiten Weltkrieg. Krisen der Vergangenheit und ihre Auswirkungen auf die Gesellschaft – vom Mittelalter bis in die Gegenwart – sind Thema einer öffentlichen Ringvorlesung der Universität Graz in Kooperation mit der Historischen Landeskommission für Steiermark (HLK) im Sommersemester 2022. In zwölf Vorträgen zeigen ForscherInnen verschiedener Fachrichtungen auf, wie sich epochale Umbrüche in der Geschichte des Landes widerspiegeln.

Was scherte die SteirerInnen der Untergang des Römischen Reichs? Was haben die Habsburgischen Verwaltungsreformen verändert? Welche Brüche gab es in der steirisch-jüdischen Geschichte und wohin führte das Wirtschaftswunder der 1950er-Jahre? Sieben WissenschafterInnen der Universität Graz beantworten diese und weitere Fragen rund um historische Umwälzungen in der neuen Vortragsreihe.

„Mit der Kraft der Geschichte den Blick und das Verständnis für die Gegenwart schärfen, das ist die Grundidee hinter der Ringvorlesung“, erklärt der Germanist und Mittelalter-Experte Wernfried Hofmeister, der diese Form der Lehrkooperation von Uni Graz und HLK 2018 ins Leben gerufen hat. Seit 2019 ist Hofmeister neben seiner Tätigkeit an der Universität auch der Geschäftsführende Sekretär der Historischen Landeskommission für Steiermark.

Buchvorstellung
Am 9. März 2022 wird im Rahmen der Ringvorlesung der Sammelband zur Vortragsreihe vom Sommersemester 2020 vorgestellt. Diese widmete sich dem Thema „Fälschung! Eine fächerübergreifende Spurensuche in der steirisch‐innerösterreichischen Landesgeschichte“.

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.

Well prepared: start your studies with the Welcome Weeks

A new academic year, new degree programmes, new students. The University of Graz is kicking off the 2026 winter semester with a modern range of courses. Several new programmes are being launched this year, including the Bachelor’s degree in Early Years Education, which combines vocational training with academic research. Three newly designed degree programmes in art history offer contemporary perspectives on artistic production – from the Old Masters to AI art. First-year students in particular can immerse themselves in university life and gather all the essential information even before the semester begins: during the Welcome Weeks starting on 1 September.
