Movements of Migration

Ein studentisches Ausstellungsprojekt

Vortrag über wissenschaftlich-künstlerische Ausstellungsprojekte

Ausstellungsprojekte bieten in Lehre und Forschung interessante Möglichkeiten der Kommunikation wissenschaftlicher Arbeiten an die Öffentlichkeit. In einem Gastvortrag am Institut für Volkskunde und Kulturanthropologie zeigt Prof. Dr. Sabine Hess von der Universität Göttingen die Potenziale gemeinschaftlicher Forschungvorhaben auf, die von Anfang an auf künstlerisch gestaltete öffentliche Vermittlungsformen setzen. Als Beispiele dienen Hess zwei studentische Ausstellungsprojekte zu kommunalen Migrations-Geschichten in München und Göttingen.

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.

Political scientist Filzmaier provided insights into the voting behaviour of Styrians

At the University of Graz, Austria's probably most well-known political scientist, Peter Filzmaier, provided a gripping analysis of the 2024 Styrian state elections. In front of a full house at the Unicorn, the professor at the University of Graz explained why social media, times of crisis and voter behaviour have a decisive influence on the outcome of an election – and why boring election campaigns are sometimes the best.
