Uni Graz lud Angehörige der Doctoral Academy zu einem Begrüßungsempfang

Mit Beginn des Wintersemesters startete an der Karl-Franzens-Universität die Doctoral Academy Graz. Die neue Institution zur Förderung exzellenter junger WissenschafterInnen in strukturierten Ausbildungsformaten führt hervorragende Forschungskonsortien mit DoktorandInnen-Beteiligung aus verschiedenen Fakultäten unter einem Dach zusammen. Am 7. November 2016 trafen sich die Angehörigen der Doctoral Academy Graz erstmals bei einem Willkommensempfang im Meerscheinschlössl.

„Die Doctoral Academy Graz soll den ForscherInnengeist weiter stärken und die Einwerbung von Drittmitteln erleichtern“, unterstrich Vizerektor Peter Scherrer bei der Veranstaltung, die den Angehörigen der neuen Institution Gelegenheit bieten sollte, einander kennenzulernen und miteinander zu reden. Damit nahm der Empfang im Kleinen vorweg, was auch die Academy selbst unterstützen soll: „Der Austausch von Ideen über die Grenzen von Disziplinen hinweg ist eine zentrale Rolle der Einrichtung“, betonte Erika Kothe von der Friedrich Schiller Universität Jena, frisch gewählte Vorsitzende des External Advisory Board der Doctoral Academy.

Neben der Förderung bereits bestehender Initiativen möchte die Doctoral Academy auch Anreize für die Entwicklung neuer Doktoratskonsortien schaffen. Auf diese Weise soll universitätsweit eine an Maßstäben der Spitzenforschung orientierte Ausbildung für JungforscherInnen sichergestellt werden.

They were to be brought up to become the future elite of National Socialism: boys and girls aged ten and over who, following the ‘Anschluss’ of Austria to the German Reich, attended a so-called Napola (short for Nationalpolitische Lehranstalt; also known as NPEA, Nationalpolitische Erziehungsanstalt). There were nine such institutions in what is now Austria between 1939 and 1945.

Baby health: University of Graz is seeking study participants to investigate early risk factors

Why does the body composition of babies vary so much? Some children gain a significant amount of fat mass within a few weeks, whilst others show hardly any change over the same period. “At the same time, initial observations suggest that fat distribution in all babies may follow a similar pattern, regardless of their total body fat,” explains Marco Höfler from the Institute of Movement Sciences, Sport and Health at the University of Graz. He is coordinating the research project ‘Small Bodies – Big Questions’, for which participants are currently still being sought: pregnant women and babies up to four weeks old.

In hot water: New Report reveals record losses in glaciers, permafrost and snow cover

Climate change is driving up temperatures not only in summer. Winters are also getting warmer – with dramatic consequences for glaciers, permafrost, snow cover and the freezing of lakes. The recently published cryosphere report provides specific figures for Austria. “Our monitoring shows a clear trend with record losses of ice and snow,” says project leader Wolfgang Schöner from the University of Graz.
