Das Freiland Labor im Botanischen Garten stellt sein Kursprogramm vor 

Wissenschaftliche Erkenntnisse rund um Pflanzen an ein interessiertes Publikum weiterzugeben, hat sich das Freiland Labor im Botanischen Garten der Universität Graz zum Ziel gesteckt. Und das heuer wieder mit einem abwechslungsreichen Programm. Los geht’s in den nächsten Tagen: am 17. Jänner mit einer Abendführung durch die exotische Pflanzenwelt in den Gewächshäusern und ab 18. Jänner mit der Ausstellung „minor. maior. mathein...“. 

„Botanische Gärten sind Zentren der Forschung, der Lehre, des Naturschutzes und der Umweltbildung. Wissenschaftliche Erkenntnisse gut aufbereitet an Schülerinnen und Schüler weiterzugeben, aber auch einem breiteren InteressentInnnenkreis zugänglich zu machen, ist unter anderem die Aufgabe des Freiland Labors“, erklärt Stephan Monschein, Projektleiter Freiland Labor Graz. 
Und wo das Wissen buchstäblich wächst, weiß Christian Berg, Leiter des Botanischen Gartens der Universität Graz, genau: „Auf fast drei Hektar Fläche und in vier Schaugewächshäusern gibt es verschiedene Pflanzen und Vegetationstypen der Erde. So kann man im Winter das tropische Klima des Regenwaldes und die an Trockenheit angepassten Überlebenskünstler der Wüste bestaunen, während im Sommer eine bunte Vielfalt von über 3000 Arten – von Mammutbäumen über Farne bis hin zu asiatischen und amerikanischen Alpinpflanzen im Freigelände zu sehen sind.“

Das Freiland Labor ist Teil der 7. fakultät, des Zentrums für Gesellschaft, Wissen und Kommunikation der Universität Graz.

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.
