Not only intellectual food is on the menu at the University of Graz. Whether you have a small or larger appetite - every stomach and taste bud is catered for on campus. The current winter semester brought two new additions to the culinary scene. The "Milchstandl", which retired in the summer after 27 years, has found a successor in the form of "Uni Bites". And "KF erde" recently moved into the RESOWI cafeteria.

On the outside, the black food truck with the name "Uni Bites" doesn't have much in common with the former "Milchstandl", where several generations of students used to get their morning snacks, fruit and sweets. But sausage and cheese rolls and all sorts of other things, even milk, are also available there in front of the RESOWI. From Monday to Friday from 7am. The "Uni Bites" offer also includes waffles and toast as well as a meat and a vegan dish from Monday to Friday lunchtime. If you want to take the food away with you, you can do so in your own containers or get reusable boxes. The food truck is operated by caterer The Underground Kitchen.

The "KF erde", which has opened on the first floor of the RESOWI centre as the second location of the "café erde" on Andreas-Hofer-Platz in Graz, is exclusively vegan. In addition to sandwiches, wraps and pastries, two daily specials and a salad buffet are available from Monday to Friday. It is advisable to book a table at lunchtime. Food is also available to go. In addition, students and employees of the University of Graz will find an very practical facility in the "KF erde": They can also heat up their own food in a microwave. Open from 8 am to 3 pm.

Reliable forecasting of extreme weather: new study supports improvement of climate models

Torrential rainfall such as that recently experienced in Spain is just one form of extreme weather event that is becoming more frequent as a result of climate change. With catastrophic consequences. Storms, droughts and heatwaves are also increasing in intensity. One of the decisive factors for the damage they cause is their duration. However, it is not yet possible to reliably predict this using current climate models. A research team led by Albert Ossó from the Wegener Center at the University of Graz has now succeeded in identifying some of the causes of this modelling problem. The new findings, which have been published in the journal Geophysical Research Letters, might help to improve the accuracy of climate models and thus forecasts of extreme weather events in Europe.

"Absolutely necessary": legal expert Gerhard Schnedl on the EU Nature Restoration Law

Some celebrate it as a milestone for nature conservation, others demonise it as an existential threat to agriculture: the EU Nature Restoration Law, which came into force in August 2024, is considered the centrepiece of the European Green Deal. Its aim is to restore damaged ecosystems in the member states. Gerhard Schnedl, a legal expert at the "ClimLaw:Graz" research centre for climate protection law, considers the new law to be absolutely necessary. What its implementation means for agriculture and forestry in particular will be the focus of the 7th Graz Environmental Law Forum on November 20 at the University of Graz.
