AirCampus-Podcast der Woche: Wie politisch ist der Song Contest?

Der AirCampus präsentiert diese Woche Wissens-Podcasts zu diesen Themen: 

 

1) Umstritten und geliebt: Der Eurovision Song Contest ist nach wie vor eine der populärsten Musikevents der Welt. Umstritten ist er zum Teil trotzdem – und zwar politisch. Für Österreich tritt heuer Cesár Sampson beim globalen Phänomen an, das am 12. Mai sein diesjähriges Finale feiert.

2) Unter freiem Himmel: Bier mit ExpertInnen der Verfahrenstechnik brauen, Stadtführung mit ArchitektInnen machen oder mit FestkörperphysikerInnen den Treibhauseffekt messen? Das und noch viel mehr erwartet BesucherInnen an der TU Graz beim Monat der freien Bildung der österreichischen Hochschulvertretungen.

3) Durch Blut bestimmt: Ein Tropfen genügt: Krebs mittels einem Bluttest diagnostizieren – das ist mittlerweile möglich. Liquid Biopsy heißt die Methode zur Früherkennung der Krankheit, die rechtzeitige Therapien ermöglicht und in einem neuen Labor an der Med Uni Graz erforscht wird.

4) Zukunftsmusik: Wie gut bereitet die Kunstuni ihre Studierenden auf die Zukunft vor? Rektorin Elisabeth Freismuth lud ein, beim Symposium "Zukunftsmusik" darüber zu diskutieren. Absolventin Julia Maier sprach über ihre Erfahrungen und Vorschläge.

 

 

Was ist der AirCampus?
Das Podcast-Projekt der vier Grazer Universitäten versorgt MitarbeiterInnen, Studierende sowie alle Interessierten das ganze Studienjahr über mit wissenswerten Infos aus der Welt der Forschung, aus dem Bildungsbereich und dem Campusleben der Karl-Franzens-Universität, Technischen Universität, Medizinischen Universität und Kunstuniversität. Früher als "Webradio" bekannt, gibt es auf der Website http://www.aircampus-graz.at auch alle Podcasts, die vor dem 2. Oktober 2017 publiziert wurden, im Archiv zum Nachhören. Die Initiative erhielt 2012 den Inge-Morath-Preis des Landes Steiermark und 2017 den PR-Panther in der Kategorie "Wissenschaft".

When stress melts away in your mouth: nicotine pouches are widespread among Styrian students

Sociologists at the University of Graz, in collaboration with VIVID – the Centre for Addiction Prevention, have carried out a survey involving more than 600 participants. Around a quarter of them use these products. The ability to use them discreetly and flexibly is a key motivation.

Desert sand, microplastics, cancer cells: David Clases awarded ERC grant for analytical method

Nanoparticles trapped in polar ice can reveal a great deal about the climate 100,000 years ago. Chemist David Clases is developing unique methods to analyse them in detail. He will now adapt these methods for use with larger particles in order to glean even more information about Earth’s history. The method can be used for a wide range of other purposes – for example, in medical diagnostics or the investigation of environmental pollution. Clases has been awarded a Proof-of-Concept Grant by the European Research Council (ERC) for this work.

Staying fit during the holidays: summer sports on the University of Graz campus

The Kleeblattlauf is not the end of the fitness term. Following last year’s successful launch, the University of Graz is once again offering summer sports on campus this year. From 30 June to 16 July 2026, there will be a free exercise programme in the open air. On the shady Südwiese (between the main building and Universitätsplatz 2), anyone interested can get in shape in the afternoons with body workouts, fascia training and yoga.

Getting even hotter: Researchers predict global warming of 1.7 degrees by 2027

While Europe is currently sweltering in the heat, global temperatures are also rising towards concerning record levels. In 2026, Earth’s surface air temperature is expected to reach 1.62 degrees, and in 2027 even 1.71 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels. The long-term temperature rise – an average over a 20-year period – is predicted to exceed the 1.5-degree threshold of the Paris Agreement as of 2026 already. For the first time, researchers at the University of Graz have been able to make such a forecast so far in advance. The intensifying El Niño climate event favors forecast skill and thereby facilitates a reliable computation.
