Dieses Mal gingen die ForscherInnen leer aus, was aber nicht die Stimmung drückte.

Beim vierten Braingame in der Geschichte der Uni Graz konnten die Studierenden den Titel verteidigen. Endstand: 172 zu 152.

Die Aula war voll, die Stimmung perfekt, alle zwölf KandidatInnen in Höchstform, trotzdem hatten wieder einmal die Studierenden die Nase um ein paar Längen vorn und konnten den Braingame-Titel mit nach Hause nehmen. Beim vierten Uni-Graz-Wissensquiz, das am Dienstagabend wieder für viel Spannung und Spaß und einer gehörigen Portion Wissenschaft sorgte, blieb auch dieses Mal kein Auge trocken: Es wurde gescherzt, gelacht und fair gespielt. Zur Erinnerung: Es traten wieder sechs Studierende gegen sechs WissenschafterInnen von den sechs Fakultäten der Universität gegeneinander an.

Gleich nach der ersten Fragerunde - Bachelor - durften zwei VertreterInnen der Teams gegeneinander im Eischneeschlagen antreten. Die Regeln und das Ziel: Mit verbundenen Augen Eiklar mit einem Schneebesen so steif schlagen, dass es  - wenn man es verkehrt über den Kopf hält - nicht aus der Schüssel läuft. Hier konnten die ForscherInnen Helmut Guttenberger, Birgit Beinsen, Margit Reitbauer, Elke Perl-Vorbach, Christian Feichtinger und Christoph Hofstätter ihren Spielrückstand aufholen; was aber die Studierenden Joachim Krysl, Gernot Dreisiebner, Winfried Kumpitsch, Eva Mautner, Daniela Feichtinger und Thomas Steinkellner nicht davon abhielt in den Spielrunden Master und PhD zu brillieren.

Neue Spiele
Auch in dieser Ausgabe von Braingame ließ sich das OrganisatorInnen-Team der 7. fakultät - Zentrum für Gesellschaft, Wissen und Kommunikation rund um Dr. Andrea Penz neue Spiele einfallen. So führten zwei SchauspielerInnen der Studierenden-Theater-Gruppe "Pennyless Players" Bibelgeschichten pantomimisch vor, die von den Teams zu erraten waren. Moderiert wurde das Quiz wieder von der ORF-Moderatorin Eva Pölzl, Vizerektor Martin Polaschek hatte wie jedes Jahr das Amt des Schiedsrichters inne.

 

Endstand: 172 zu 152!

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

The University of Graz is further expanding its international study opportunities through the European university alliance Arqus and is taking the lead in two key projects. In future, students will benefit from even more joint degree programmes and from simplified recognition of academic achievements through the Joint European Degree Label.

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.
