Der Tag der Geisteswissenschaften präsentiert die vielfältige Forschung der Fakultät

Die Aula steht heute ganz im Zeichen geisteswissenschaftlicher Forschung. 38 ausgezeichnete Projekte machen das breite Spektrum an Themen sichtbar: Arabisch und Abendland, Habsburger und Handarbeit, Kasperl und Klimaschutz, Mittelalter und Moderne. Im Rahmen des Tages der Geisteswissenschaften finden auch fünf internationale Kongresse statt, ausgewählte Referate davon kann man wiederum in der Aula hören.

Die Kunstgeschichte beispielsweise steuerte das Symposium "Sein und Schein" bei. Es befasste sich mit Schloss Thinnfeld in Deutschfeistritz mit einem verborgenen Baujuwel des Rokoko, das für einen heißen Sommerabend seine Tore der Universität und ihren ForscherInnen öffnete. Barockmusik der Klasse für Alte Musik des Johann-Joseph-Fux Konservatoriums, geleitet von Dario Luisi, mit Gesang, Barockvioline und Cembalo rundete das Gesamtkunstwerk ab. Auch ORF-Moderator Tarek Leitner gesellte sich mit seiner Streitschrift gegen die Verschandelung Österreichs dazu und konnte die zahlreich erschienenen HörerInnen für seinen engagierten Aufruf für ein sensibles Umgehen mit unserem Kulturgut und der dazugehörigen Landschaft unter Aufgabe eines eingleisigen Rentabilitätsdenkens begeistern.

Dekan Helmut Konrad lud alle KollegInnen und Interessierten ein, sich diesse Vielfalt schmecken zu lassen und in die anderen Wissenschaftsdisziplinen hineinzuhören.

Zum Abschluss der Veranstaltung gibt es ab 18 Uhr DJ-Klänge, mit denen Dekan Konrad aus dieser Funktion verabschiedet wird.

A fresh start, a calling, holidays: what draws people from other career paths to teaching

They used to develop software; now they teach maths in the classroom. Career changers are expected to help address the shortage of qualified teachers in Austria’s schools. In their doctoral theses at the Institute for Educational Research and Teacher Training at the University of Graz, Melanie Gürentz and Claudia Mair examined how these new teachers perceive their new professional roles.

Talent Talks bridge the gap in career guidance

The Styrian Chamber of Commerce (WKO Steiermark), the Styrian Chamber of Labour (AK Steiermark) and the AMS are joining forces when it comes to training young people and, through the “Talent Talks”, are creating a seamless pathway to career guidance. This takes preparation and follow-up support – just in time for the start of the term and the scheme’s tenth anniversary – to a whole new level. A new survey conducted by the Talent Centre among 2,687 former participants to mark the anniversary shows just how important this development is. Of the young people who received follow-up support from the Talent Report, 74.6 per cent stated that they had a good understanding of their own strengths and talents following the Talent Check. Without follow-up support, the figure was 66.5 per cent – a significant difference of 8.1 percentage points.

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.”
