Ehrendoktorat der Bergischen Universität Wuppertal an Heinz D. Kurz

Die Fakultät für Wirtschaftswissenschaft – Schumpeter School of Business and Economics – der Bergischen Universität Wuppertal hat dem Ökonomen Heinz D. Kurz vom Graz Schumpeter Centre und dem Institut für Volkswirtschaftslehre der Universität Graz am 13. Februar 2019 die Ehrendoktorwürde verliehen. Die Fakultät würdigt damit seine herausragenden nationalen und internationalen Verdienste auf mehreren Gebieten, darunter der Produktions-, Wachstums-, Kapital- und Verteilungstheorie sowie der ökonomischen Theoriegeschichte.

In den Laudationes von Norbert Koubek (Schumpeter School of Business and Economics der Bergischen Universität Wuppertal) und Hagen Krämer (Fakultät für Wirtschaftswissenschaften der Hochschule Karlsruhe - Technik und Wirtschaft) wurden die wissenschaftlichen Leistungen in Forschung, Lehre und internationaler Vortragstätigkeit gewürdigt. In der von Dekan Nils Crasselt überreichten Ehrenpromotionsurkunde heißt es unter anderem: „Die Ehrung fügt sich ein in die zahlreichen und weltweit verteilten Auszeichnungen von Universitäten und wissenschaftlichen Gesellschaften.“

Kurz betonte in seinem Festvortrag zum Thema „Schumpeter im Pantheon der Ökonomen“ die besondere Stellung des von 1911 bis 1921 in Graz wirkenden Joseph A. Schumpeter im Verhältnis zu bedeutenden Ökonomen von Adam Smith bis John Maynard Keynes. Das Hauptaugenmerk lag auf der Rolle von Innovationen für die Dynamik sozio-ökonomischer Entwicklung und die Bedeutung von Entrepreneurship hierin. Eine quantitative Auswertung der Zitierungen der Werke großer Ökonomen zeigt, dass Schumpeters Beitrag in den vergangenen Jahrzehnten rasant an Gewicht gewonnen hat. Heinz D. Kurz resümierte einen berühmten Satz Keynes’ abwandelnd: „In the long run, not all of us are dead“, denn Schumpeter wird, so gesehen, immer lebendiger.

Laut eigenen Worten befindet sich der jüngste Ehrendoktor der Universität Wuppertal übrigens in „exzellenter und von ihm überaus geschätzter Gesellschaft“, denn vor ihm hat dieselbe Hochschule unter anderem Victor von Bülow, besser bekannt als „Loriot“, das Ehrendoktorat verliehen.

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.
