Universität Graz serviert Forschung zum Frühstück

Im Botanischen Garten der Universität Graz wächst Wissen – für ForscherInnen, Studierende und für ein interessiertes Publikum: Beim alljährlichen Botanik-Brunch wird Erwachsenen und Kindern Forschung bei einem Frühstück im Grünen serviert – heuer steht Wissenswertes rund um Knollen, Rüben und Wurzelgemüse auf dem Programm.
Warum gehört die Karotte zu den beliebtesten Gemüsesorten? Warum ist der Knollenziest in Vergessenheit geraten? Und hilft die Konjakwurzel tatsächlich beim Abnehmen? Diese und viele weiteren Fragen beantworten die WissenschafterInnen bei Expeditionen durch den Bauerngarten und die Gewächshäuser, bei Workshops zum Mitmachen und bei Verkostungen – ganz nach dem Motto: tolle Knolle!

Botanik-Brunch: Tolle Knolle
Sonntag, 9. September 2018, 10 bis 14 Uhr
Botanischer Garten der Universität Graz, Holteigasse 6, 8010 Graz

Der Eintritt ist frei, um Anmeldung wird gebeten:

Der Botanik Brunch ist eine Veranstaltung der 7. fakultät, des Zentrums für Gesellschaft, Wissen und Kommunikation der Universität Graz, und findet bei jeder Witterung statt.

Elisabeth Staudegger, Head of the ‘Law and IT’ Department at the Institute for Legal Foundations at the University of Graz, host the Academic Standards Day on 16 June. Here she relays how sciences can contribute to the topic of standardisation and reveals her personal favourite standard.
