Neue Plattform "Venturepreneurship Aula" setzt Impulse zur Finanzierung junger, innovativer Unternehmen

Persönlichkeiten aus den Bereichen Venture Capital und Entrepreneurship gaben am 15. Jänner 2016 in der Aula der Uni Graz Einblicke in ihre Welt. Die Veranstaltung war der Auftakt-Event der „Venturepreneurship Aula“, einer offenen Veranstaltungsreihe, die vom Zentrum für Entrepreneurship und angewandte Betriebswirtschaftslehre der Uni Graz unter der Leitung von Univ.-Prof. Dr. Alfred Gutschelhofer ins Leben gerufen wurde. Ihr Ziel: Bei regelmäßigen Events unternehmerische Praxis und universitären Diskurs zusammenzubringen und Impulse zur Finanzierung junger, innovativer Unternehmen zu setzen. Ab dem Sommersemester gibt es dazu auch eine eigene Lehrveranstaltung im Rahmen der Initiative TIMEGATE – Betriebswirtschaft für alle.

„Es ist wichtig, dass zum einen unternehmerisches Denken bereits während des Studiums vermittelt wird, und auch, dass Unternehmen aus der Universität heraus gegründet werden“, unterstrich Vizerektor Peter Riedler bei der Eröffnung die Bedeutung der Vernetzung von Wissenschaft und Praxis. Die große TeilnehmerInnenzahl der Veranstaltung zeige, dass das Thema Selbstständigkeit bereits gut an der Universität etabliert sei, so Riedler.

„Selbstständigkeit ist eine Lebenseinstellung“, betonte Alfred Gutschelhofer, der sich in seiner einführenden Präsentation humorvoll mit kleinen gelben Plastik-Enten dem Thema Ent(r)epreneurship widmete. Weitere Impulse kamen vom Direktor der Wirtschaftskammer Steiermark Dr. Karl-Heinz Dernoscheg und DI (FH) Andreas Gerstenmayer, Vorstand der AT&S und „CEO des Jahres 2014“.

Den Eröffnungsvortrag hielt DiTech-Gründer und Bestseller Autor Damian Izdebski. Im Anschluss schilderten Persönlichkeiten der Venture- und Entrepreneurship-Szene ihre Erfahrungen und Perspektiven. Durch die Veranstaltung führte Daniel Cronin, Start-up-Coach, Co-Founder und Vorstandsmitglied von AustrianStartups.

Jurassic Sounds: Biologist reconstructs insect songs from 165 million years ago

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.

EU funding boosts international exchange between universities

Rescue and risks: Researchers have surveyed public perceptions of AI

The use of artificial intelligence has had to be made transparent since 2 August 2026. The EU’s AI Act, which has been in force since then, also sets out how risky an application is and which security measures apply as a result. However, the assessment of risks by the legislation differs in some cases significantly from the perceptions of the Austrian public. This is the finding of a representative study carried out by data scientist Stefan Thalmann from the University of Graz and his team.

The Healing Sea: Researchers discover new approaches to treating chronic inflammation in sponges

Chronic inflammation plays a key role in many diseases, ranging from metabolic disorders and cardiovascular diseases to tissue damage following injuries or infections. “Normally, the body is able to resolve inflammation on its own. If this process becomes unbalanced, immune cells remain permanently active and continue to drive negative changes in the tissue,” explains Andreas Koeberle, a pharmacist at the University of Graz.
