It is a student card, library card, printing and copying card and key to learning zones. The youni student app has new and improved features ready for the start of the semester, including the weekly view in the calendar.

Weekly view in the calendar

One of the most requested features by students is now a reality: the new weekly view in the youni calendar. This function makes it possible to see all the important dates of the week at a glance, making it much easier to plan your daily study routine. The feature will help to make the stressful university routine more manageable.

Self service for multi-factor authentication

Youni now also offers the option of setting up multi-factor authentication (MFA) in Self Service via youni. This is particularly practical when switching to a new cell phone, for example. Students can renew their MFA independently and without having to visit the Infopoint in person.

Further features in the pipeline

youni will continue to be developed in the future to provide even better support for everyday student life. The following innovations are planned, among others:
USI courses in the calendar: it will soon be possible to view the courses of the University Sports Institute (USI) directly in the youni calendar.

Moodle users can expect something new soon: A function is in the works that will notify you of new course materials, cross lists or submissions. This will keep you up to date when there is something new in the courses.

The youni team is looking forward to feedback from students.

On September 30, 2024, there will also be a youni stand in front of the RESOWI Center during the Welcome Weeks, where a surprise awaits youni users. ► https://welcomeweeks.uni-graz.at

Austria’s emissions rose in 2025: University of Graz researchers analyse the causes

The Environment Agency Austria has today published the figures for the country’s greenhouse gas emissions in 2025. While emissions fell sharply year on year from 2022 to 2024, they rose again by just under 0.7 per cent in 2025. Researchers at the University of Graz have analysed how much of this increase was due to structural changes in the economy and how much was attributable to external factors over which there is little control. “In 2025, the colder winter compared with 2024 increased emissions by 0.81 per cent, while the weak economy reduced them by 0.38 per cent. If we factor out these influences, we find an underlying increase of 0.26 per cent compared with the previous year,” reports economist Karl Steininger. “This clearly means that Austria is not on track to meet its climate targets, which require a substantial reduction in emissions by 2030.”

Electrifying: Researchers film the first moments on the way from light to electricity

Physicists at the University of Graz (Austria), in collaboration with colleagues from Marburg University and Forschungszentrum Jülich (Germany), have achieved a scientific breakthrough. For the first time, the generation of electrical energy from light has been filmed and described theoretically. This work is of far-reaching significance, not least for optimising sustainable energy production from photovoltaics. This is because it provides fundamental building blocks for understanding the physical processes that take place, for example, in organic solar cells. The paper was published in the journal Physical Review X, one of the world’s most prestigious physics journals.

How can we teach using YouTube and AI? The University of Graz is strengthening media education in schools

A journey through the blood vessels using VR headsets brings biology lessons to life. An interactive quiz brings physics to life. The YouTube video explains the First World War. Whilst mobile phones are increasingly being banned from the classroom, social media platforms, apps and AI are playing an ever-greater role in knowledge transfer at school. But how can teaching with media be made even more effective? What are the challenges in media-based teaching? At the University of Graz, researchers are discussing these issues at a conference being held in Austria for the first time.
