Premiere für AbsolventInnen von NAWI Graz: Uni Graz und TU Graz verleihen nun akademische Grade gemeinsam

Es war eine feierliche Premiere, die am 2. Juli 2015 in der Aula der Karl-Franzens-Universität über die Bühne ging. Erstmals haben Uni Graz und TU Graz im Rahmen ihrer naturwissenschaftlichen Kooperation NAWI Graz einen gemeinsamen Festakt durchgeführt und akademische Titel damit gemeinsam verliehen.
Master of Science sind die fünf JungakdemikerInnen, die eines von insgesamt 18 interuniversitären NAWI Graz-Studien absolvierten. Das Besondere von NAWI Graz: Man studiert an beiden Universitäten und wählt auch die/den BetreuerIn für die Masterarbeit von einer der beiden Institutionen, ohne die zulassende Universität wechseln zu müssen. So haben zwei der fünf KandidatInnen ihre Masterarbeit an der TU Graz verfasst.
Die Feier unter dem Vorsitz von Dekan Karl Crailsheim (Uni Graz), Vizestudiendekanin Ursula Athenstaedt (Uni Graz), Rudolf Bauer (Uni Graz) und Vizestudiendekan Günther Daum (TU Graz) war zugleich Startschuss für weitere gemeinsame NAWI Graz-Graduierungsfeiern.

Die frischgebackenen Master of Science:

Christopher Dammbrück, NAWI Graz-Masterstudium Biochemie und Molekulare Biomedizin, Masterarbeit an der Uni Graz
Lisa Mitterer, NAWI Graz-Masterstudium Biochemie und Molekulare Biomedizin, Masterarbeit an der TU Graz
Bernadette Nagler, NAWI Graz-Masterstudium Biochemie und Molekulare Biomedizin, Masterarbeit an der TU Graz
Anja Ozwirk, NAWI Graz-Masterstudium Chemie, Masterarbeit an der Uni Graz
Stefan Tanda, NAWI Graz-Masterstudium Chemie, Masterarbeit an der Uni Graz

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.
