Uni Vibes - the festival that transcends borders

Universities make a significant contribution to culture, to the interpretation of society and to human existence. We want to celebrate that! With "Uni Vibes - the festival that transcends borders" on 23 May 2025 from 6 pm on the campus of the University of Graz. In collaboration with La Strada Graz, numerous artists and academics will approach the topic of borders from different perspectives and invite visitors to join them on a journey of discovery. Guided tours behind the scenes of the university, concerts, DJs and performances make the evening a special experience. "Uni Vibes" takes place whatever the weather! Admission is free.

The University of Graz is not only the leading educational and research institution in the south of Austria, it is also a meeting place with its green campus in the heart of Graz. "Education, research and social interaction as well as the will to make a difference together are uniquely combined here," says Rector Peter Riedler. Especially at a time when basic democratic values are coming under increasing pressure in this world, when facts and diversity are being questioned more and more often, the University of Graz is clearly committed to its responsibility as a place of free science, as a space for critical thinking and as a platform for social dialogue.

With Uni Vibes, the festival that transcends borders, the University of Graz is once again expressing this attitude publicly, visibly and tangibly and, above all, with confidence. On 23 May, the university campus will be transformed into a stage for art, science, music and dance: "Diversity is not only shown, but celebrated with Uni Vibes," says the Rector. Together with the renowned festival La Strada and the Austrian Students' Union at the University of Graz (ÖH), the University of Graz cordially invites you to attend.

When the sun goes dark: Enlightening for science and the people of Graz

When the moon partially passes in front of the sun in Graz on 12 August 2026, the event will once again captivate many people. This includes Manuela Temmer, an astrophysicist at the University of Graz. The scientist confirms that this celestial phenomenon offers significant value for research: “During a solar eclipse, the corona can be observed more clearly than with any instrument.”

Courtly Love and Aubergines: What Medieval Literature Has in Common with Emojis

Plants and fruits were already used as symbols of love in the Middle Ages. German studies scholar Isabella Managò, together with her colleagues Brigitte Spreitzer-Fleck and Julia Zimmermann, explains how this came about and why this figurative language remains familiar to us to this day.

New technology from the University of Graz reveals the hidden properties of tumour cells

It sounds like science fiction, but it could advance cancer research in the future: a team at the University of Graz, led by physicist Jan Enenkel, is developing a new laboratory device using laser technology that can be used to examine individual tumour cells. The idea is reminiscent of the medical tricorder from the Star Trek film series – albeit as a high-precision measurement platform. A spin-off fellowship from the Austrian Research Promotion Agency (FFG) is supporting the development of the technology at the University of Graz with around 500,000 euros.

Four introduced species of leafhoppers newly discovered in the Botanical Garden Graz

They have travelled to Europe as stowaways via international trade and are now rapidly taking over large parts of the continent: more and more insects from other parts of the world are becoming established here. Biologist Gernot Kunz recently discovered four species for the first time at the University of Graz Botanical Garden: the American grapevine leafhopper (Scaphoideus titanus), the wounded leafhopper from North America (Erasmoneura vulnerata) and the Japanese grape leafhopper (Arboridia kakogawana) – all three specialising in vines – as well as the Indian leafhopper Pediopsoides sharmai, which is associated with walnut trees.
