On Wednesday 18.6.2025 it was that time again. The Carinthian Academic Boccia Championships took place on the grounds of the USI Outdoor. A total of 19 teams took part. The game was played in three groups of 6. The first and second-placed teams in each group and the two best third-placed teams then progressed to the quarter-finals. In the semi-finals, the favored teams “KUGELSICHER” and ‘HausBoccen’ faced each other, with the “HausBoccen” team coming out on top. In the second semi-final, a purely Styrian pairing, “Reboot Rebels”, prevailed against the “dirty winners”.
Scholarships now open for applications
Applications are now open for two scholarships at QUT’s Digital Media Research Centre.
These scholarship opportunities will investigate how 21st-century media changes and challenges the social role of media by gathering detailed evidence about how Australians use media (all forms, old and new).
Successful applicants will receive $37,010 per annum (domestic/international) for a maximum duration of 3.5 years while undertaking a QUT PhD.
Safer Internet Lab is returning to the Internet Governance Forum (IGF) for the third time. This year, in line with the main theme — Building Digital Governance Together — SAIL continues its efforts to contribute to digital governance through research and collaboration with fellow researchers across the Asia-Pacific region.
In democratic societies, a shared informational environment is considered a condition of civic and informed engagement and for a sound deliberative democracy. This common public sphere (Habermas) enables citizens to access facts, interpretations, and debates, which are a shared domain and define preconditions necessary for the legitimacy of democratic processes.
As June is Pride Month, we would like to take a closer look at the topic of gender diversity this month. Gender is thought, discussed, experienced and lived beyond the rigid concept of binarity. Non-binarity is a topic in every scientific discipline that deals with gender. For example, in medicine: biologically, gender can be determined by external sexual characteristics, reproductive organs, chromosomes and hormones. However, from a scientific perspective, this cannot always be categorised in binary terms.
KKMany hands make light work: the same applies to multiple robots and drones, which are capable of quickly scanning large areas, and can also clean or inspect them. Khalil Al-Rahman Youssefi’s doctoral thesis focuses on developing new technologies that allow swarms of robots to fully map an area using a method known as ‘coverage exploration for robot swarms’.

Frank Würthner, Leiter des Lehrstuhls für Organische Chemie II und des Zentrums für Nanosystemchemie an der Universität Würzburg, verfolgt ein ehrgeiziges Ziel: Er möchte Schwarzite synthetisieren, neuartige Nano-Materialien aus Kohlenstoff mit einzigartigen Eigenschaften. Aller Voraussicht nach können diese Materialien zukünftig als dreidimensional leitfähige poröse Kohlenstoffnanoröhren- und Graphen-Analoga für innovative Batterien oder als Filtersysteme für Gase und Flüssigkeiten verwendet werden.
Der Handel mit Antiken und die archäologische Wissenschaft stellen zwei verschiedene Arten der kommerziellen Auseinandersetzung mit der Vergangenheit dar. In einer Sache ist man sich in der Archäologie einig: Illegaler Handel mit Antiken ist ein Übel. Wie man mit diesem Übel umgehen soll, darüber herrscht jedoch weniger Einigkeit.
Geschichten und Erzählungen sind seit Jahrtausenden fester Bestandteil im Alltag der Menschen. Anfangs mündlich überliefert, wie beispielsweise die Gunditjmara-Erzählung der Aborigines, die von einem Vulkanausbruch vor 37.000 Jahren berichtet. Später dann schriftlich fixiert, wie etwa das Gilgamesch-Epos, eine rund 5.000 Jahre alte Dichtung, die von dem König Gilgamesch und seiner Suche nach Unsterblichkeit erzählt.
