Grüne Chemie für den blauen Planeten: 300 junge ForscherInnen bei der SommerKinderUni Graz

Ganz wie die Großen forschten heuer die kleinen Studierenden der SommerKinderUni in den Labors der Universität Graz. „Grüne Chemie für den blauen Planeten“ lautete das Motto eines der insgesamt 25 Wissenschafts-Workshops. Dabei konnten die Kinder und Jugendlichen am Institut für Chemie experimentieren und etwa Fragen „Wie säubert man schmutziges Wasser?“ beantworten. Unter wissenschaftlicher Begleitung von Katharina Fürpaß und Mario Trummer arbeiteten die „NachwuchsforscherInnen“ mit Gasen, Flüssigkeiten und festen Stoffen.

Insgesamt 300 Kinder und Jugendliche im Alter zwischen acht und 14 Jahren „studierten“ vom 12. Juli bis 6. August an den Universitäten und Hochschulen der steirischen Landeshauptstadt. Nach einem Jahr pandemiebedingter Pause mit ganz besonders großer Begeisterung.
Vormittags standen spannende Wissenschaftsworkshops und Exkursionen auf dem Programm, nachmittags – nach der Stärkung in der Mensa – ein abwechslungsreiches Sportangebot am Universitätssportzentrum.

Die KinderUniGraz besteht seit 2004 und ist eine Kooperation des Bundesministeriums für Bildung, Wissenschaft und Forschung, der Stadt Graz sowie der acht Grazer Universitäten und Hochschulen.

Fair distribution: Researchers determine just greenhouse gas budgets for all EU regions

Ten years ago, on 12 December 2015, the Paris Climate Agreement was signed at the UN Climate Conference. In order to limit global warming to well below two degrees, only a certain amount of CO2 may be emitted worldwide. While the focus was originally on national emission targets, more than 200 subnational regions and almost 300 cities have now adopted their own targets. But how many emissions are they fairly entitled to? Researchers at the University of Graz have now developed transparent criteria for fair distribution at the subnational level for the first time and determined corresponding greenhouse gas budgets for all European regions. The paper was published today in the scientific journal Nature Communications.

Train by train: Koralm railway accelerates exchange between the Universities

Lectures at the University of Klagenfurt in the morning, seminars at the University of Graz in the afternoon: Austria's longest tunnel and a journey time of around 45 minutes make it easy. The Koralm railway increases the speed of networking between the two university locations. The collaboration builds on existing cooperation - for example in the areas of teacher training, Slavic studies and as employers, the universities are well coordinated.
