It is a student card, library card, printing and copying card and key to learning zones. The youni student app has new and improved features ready for the start of the semester, including the weekly view in the calendar.

Weekly view in the calendar

One of the most requested features by students is now a reality: the new weekly view in the youni calendar. This function makes it possible to see all the important dates of the week at a glance, making it much easier to plan your daily study routine. The feature will help to make the stressful university routine more manageable.

Self service for multi-factor authentication

Youni now also offers the option of setting up multi-factor authentication (MFA) in Self Service via youni. This is particularly practical when switching to a new cell phone, for example. Students can renew their MFA independently and without having to visit the Infopoint in person.

Further features in the pipeline

youni will continue to be developed in the future to provide even better support for everyday student life. The following innovations are planned, among others:
USI courses in the calendar: it will soon be possible to view the courses of the University Sports Institute (USI) directly in the youni calendar.

Moodle users can expect something new soon: A function is in the works that will notify you of new course materials, cross lists or submissions. This will keep you up to date when there is something new in the courses.

The youni team is looking forward to feedback from students.

On September 30, 2024, there will also be a youni stand in front of the RESOWI Center during the Welcome Weeks, where a surprise awaits youni users. ► https://welcomeweeks.uni-graz.at

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
