Soziale Kompetenzen: ein Zentrum bündelt Angebote für Studierende

Die Universität Graz will ihren Studierenden nicht nur qualitätsvolles Fachwissen vermitteln. Sie will auch Persönlichkeiten fördern und fordern. „Unsere Studierenden und AbsolventInnen tragen als angehende EntscheidungsträgerInnen wesentlich zur Gestaltung und Weiterentwicklung der Gesellschaft bei“, sagt Rektorin Christa Neuper. Daher wird zusätzlich zur fachlich wertvollen Bildung das Augenmerk auf den Erwerb ergänzender Kompetenzen gerichtet. 

Das Zentrum für Soziale Kompetenz bietet Studierenden sowohl der Universität Graz als auch der Technischen Universität Graz mehr als 50 Lehrveranstaltungen zu Themen wie Kommunikation, Kooperation, Konfliktlösung, Projektmanagement und gesellschaftliche Verantwortung. Die Lehrveranstaltungen sind anrechenbarer Bestandteil des Studiums. Jährlich nutzen etwa 1200 Studierende das stark nachgefragte Angebot, das sukzessive erweitert wird. 

Zentrumsleiter Sascha Ferz beschreibt die Zielsetzung: „Das Zentrum für Soziale Kompetenz leistet einen Beitrag zu einer funktionierenden Demokratie in der globalen Gesellschaft. Wir befähigen Studierende, Antworten auf persönliche, berufliche und soziale Herausforderungen zu entwickeln, indem wir ihre Kompetenzen in den Bereichen Kommunikation und Selbstwahrnehmung, Eigensteuerung, Kooperation sowie gesellschaftliche Verantwortung stärken.“

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

The University of Graz is further expanding its international study opportunities through the European university alliance Arqus and is taking the lead in two key projects. In future, students will benefit from even more joint degree programmes and from simplified recognition of academic achievements through the Joint European Degree Label.

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.
