Rupert Baumgartner ist „DuPont Young Professor“

Eine hoch dotierte Förderung erhielt Univ.-Prof. Dr. Rupert Baumgartner, Leiter des Instituts für Systemwissenschaften, Innovations- und Nachhaltigkeitsforschung der Uni Graz, von einem der weltweit größten Konzerne der Chemischen Industrie. DuPont, mit Stammsitz in den USA, zeichnete Baumgartner für seine innovative wissenschaftliche Arbeit in den Bereichen Circular Economy und Produktmanagement als „2016 DuPont Young Professor“ aus. Die Anerkennung wurde insgesamt acht ForscherInnen aus unterschiedlichen Disziplinen zuteil. Als „2016 Class of DuPont Young Professors“ erhalten sie gemeinsam eine Prämie in der Höhe von 350.000 US-Dollar, umgerechnet rund 330.000 Euro.

In seiner Forschung konzentriert sich Rupert Baumgartner auf Corporate Sustainability – der Begriff umfasst nachhaltiges unternehmerisches Handeln – sowie auf Maßnahmen zur Erhöhung der Nachhaltigkeit von Produkten. „Dies beinhaltet die Analyse einer Fülle an Daten zum Lebenszyklus eines Erzeugnisses – von der Produktion über die Nutzung bis hin zur Entsorgung“, erklärt der Wissenschafter.

Mit dem Förderprogramm „DuPont Young Professor“ unterstützt der Konzern WissenschafterInnen in frühen Phasen ihrer Forschungskarriere. Die Nominierung erfolgt durch eine/n MitarbeiterIn von DuPont. Die Zuerkennung ist mit keinen Verpflichtungen, jedoch mit der Hoffnung verbunden, zukünftige Kooperationen zu initiieren.

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.

It was apparently not just the roars of the dinosaurs that made up the soundscape of the animal world during the Jurassic period. Crickets and grasshoppers communicated through a variety of songs and high-pitched sounds, as Thorin Jonsson from the Institute of Biology at the University of Graz discovered together with colleagues from the universities of Lincoln, Bristol (UK), Beijing (China) and Tempe (USA). The findings on what are so far the oldest traces of sound on Earth have just been published in the journal PNAS.
