Universität Graz präsentiert die Ig-Nobelpreis-Show

Haben FrühaufsteherInnen oder eher Nachteulen das Zeug für eine Psychopathen-Karriere? Warum richten sich Hunde nach den magnetischen Feldlinien aus, wenn sie beim Gassi-Gehen ungehindert markieren können? Und ist es besser von einer vollen oder leeren Bierflasche auf dem Kopf getroffen zu werden? Außergewöhnliche Fragen, die die Welt, aber auch die Wissenschaft bewegen. Die Antworten darauf liefern – wissenschaftlich fundiert und mit viel Witz – drei renommierte ForscherInnen, die von der Universität Harvard mit dem sogenannten Ig-Nobelpreis ausgezeichnet wurden. Minna Lyons, Hynek Burda und Stephan Bolliger bringen am 19. März 2019 an der Universität Graz das Publikum zum Lachen und zum Nachdenken. 

Durch die Show, die nach der Premiere 2017 nun zum zweiten Mal an der Universität Graz über die Bühne geht, führt Marc Abrahams. 
Die Vorträge sind in englischer Sprache.

WANN: Dienstag, 19. März 2019, 18 Uhr
WO: Aula, Hauptgebäude der Universität Graz, Universitätsplatz 3, 8010 Graz
Tickets um 15 Euro bei www.oeticket.com

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.
