Stricter safety measures remain in place

Although the development of the pandemic remains difficult to predict – especially due to the new Omikron variant and its effects – the University of Graz remains open, university life should continue as long as possible. For this reason, the traffic light status "Orange" remains until further notice. Courses and exams in presence are also still possible.
For information on the respective courses, please refer to UNIGRAZonline.

Reading and study areas as well as the library and lending desk will remain open until further notice. Mandatory wearing of FFP2 mask (also at the seat) and 2.5 G rule will be strictly monitored.

All other measures and regulations - such as the 2.5 G proof for campus attendance and the strict FFP2 mask requirement - remain in place.

Fair distribution: Researchers determine just greenhouse gas budgets for all EU regions

Ten years ago, on 12 December 2015, the Paris Climate Agreement was signed at the UN Climate Conference. In order to limit global warming to well below two degrees, only a certain amount of CO2 may be emitted worldwide. While the focus was originally on national emission targets, more than 200 subnational regions and almost 300 cities have now adopted their own targets. But how many emissions are they fairly entitled to? Researchers at the University of Graz have now developed transparent criteria for fair distribution at the subnational level for the first time and determined corresponding greenhouse gas budgets for all European regions. The paper was published today in the scientific journal Nature Communications.
