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.

Staying fit during the holidays: summer sports on the University of Graz campus

The Kleeblattlauf is not the end of the fitness term. Following last year’s successful launch, the University of Graz is once again offering summer sports on campus this year. From 30 June to 16 July 2026, there will be a free exercise programme in the open air. On the shady Südwiese (between the main building and Universitätsplatz 2), anyone interested can get in shape in the afternoons with body workouts, fascia training and yoga.

Getting even hotter: Researchers predict global warming of 1.7 degrees by 2027

While Europe is currently sweltering in the heat, global temperatures are also rising towards concerning record levels. In 2026, Earth’s surface air temperature is expected to reach 1.62 degrees, and in 2027 even 1.71 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels. The long-term temperature rise – an average over a 20-year period – is predicted to exceed the 1.5-degree threshold of the Paris Agreement as of 2026 already. For the first time, researchers at the University of Graz have been able to make such a forecast so far in advance. The intensifying El Niño climate event favors forecast skill and thereby facilitates a reliable computation.
