Die Montagsakademie der Uni Graz startet am 15. Oktober 2018 ins neue Studienjahr

Wissenschaft liefert laufend neue Erkenntnisse und Befunde über die Welt. Die Universität Graz beschäftigt sich mit Themen der Zukunft, welche die Gesellschaft betreffen und auch von dieser diskutiert werden sollen. In unterschiedlichen Forschungsbereichen gibt es vielversprechende Projekte und Lösungsansätze für drängende gesellschaftliche Probleme. Mit der Montagsakademie wurde ein Format geschaffen, das universitäres Wissen seit 2004 breit in die Regionen trägt. 

Am 15. Oktober 2018 um 19 Uhr eröffnet der Grazer Romanist Steffen Schneider die Montagsakademie mit seinem Vortrag über „Die Suche nach dem Glück: Zukunftsvisionen im Werk Michel Houellebecqs“. Die Montagsakademie lädt auch internationale Gäste nach Graz ein: Am 29. Oktober 2018 diskutiert Christine Morgenroth-Negt vom Institut für Soziologie der Leibniz Universität Hannover in ihrem Vortrag die Frage: „Wie alltagstauglich sind Sozialutopien in Zeiten globaler Erosionskrisen?“. Das Leitthema für dieses Studienjahr ist „Schöne neue Welt!? Wie Wissenschaft und Technik unsere Zukunft sehen“ (2. Zyklus). Die Veranstaltungen finden in der Aula der Universität Graz statt und werden live in 12 regionale Einrichtungen übertragen. 

Alle Termine: 15.10.2018, 29.10.2018, 12.11.2018, 03.12.2018, 14.01.2019, 28.01.2019, 04.03.2019, 18.03.2019, 01.04.2019, 06.05.2019, 20.05.2019, 03.06.2019

Beginn: jeweils montags um 19.00 Uhr

Desert sand, microplastics, cancer cells: David Clases awarded ERC grant for analytical method

Nanoparticles trapped in polar ice can reveal a great deal about the climate 100,000 years ago. Chemist David Clases is developing unique methods to analyse them in detail. He will now adapt these methods for use with larger particles in order to glean even more information about Earth’s history. The method can be used for a wide range of other purposes – for example, in medical diagnostics or the investigation of environmental pollution. Clases has been awarded a Proof-of-Concept Grant by the European Research Council (ERC) for this work.

Staying fit during the holidays: summer sports on the University of Graz campus

The Kleeblattlauf is not the end of the fitness term. Following last year’s successful launch, the University of Graz is once again offering summer sports on campus this year. From 30 June to 16 July 2026, there will be a free exercise programme in the open air. On the shady Südwiese (between the main building and Universitätsplatz 2), anyone interested can get in shape in the afternoons with body workouts, fascia training and yoga.

Getting even hotter: Researchers predict global warming of 1.7 degrees by 2027

While Europe is currently sweltering in the heat, global temperatures are also rising towards concerning record levels. In 2026, Earth’s surface air temperature is expected to reach 1.62 degrees, and in 2027 even 1.71 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels. The long-term temperature rise – an average over a 20-year period – is predicted to exceed the 1.5-degree threshold of the Paris Agreement as of 2026 already. For the first time, researchers at the University of Graz have been able to make such a forecast so far in advance. The intensifying El Niño climate event favors forecast skill and thereby facilitates a reliable computation.
