In principle, we are of the opinion that scientific facts should be fed into a network like X, but we also understand that this also supports this network to a certain extent. We are therefore suspending this channel and invite you to follow us on: https://t.co/gtMdMtKK1H

Around 25% of the approximately 2,700 academic staff at TU Graz are women. As representatives of the outstanding academic work carried out by women on a daily basis, we would like to highlight a few women researchers and their particular successes: https://t.co/R6O8QGtb7F

🚇 Did you know that students at Graz University of Technology also learn about surveying directly in the Semmering Base Tunnel? Instead of sitting in a lecture theatre, they gain practical experience at one of Austria's largest construction sites: https://t.co/fFJd9cAk6V

🌍🛰️ By utilising communication signals for positioning and calculating the earth’s gravitational field, real-time observation of weather phenomena is now also possible.

Earth observation using satellites is based on the principle that changes in sea level or groundwater levels, for example, influence the Earth’s gravitational field and therefore the satellite trajectory. Scientists use this to utilise the positions and orbits of satellites as a data source for their research.

🎉 Congratulations to Aikata Aikata for receiving the Critical Infrastructure Award from Austrian Academy of Sciences!
Aikata researches groundbreaking encryption methods resilient against quantum computers. Her work on homomorphic encryption enables the processing of encrypted data without decrypting it first—truly revolutionary for data privacy and secure cloud applications!
With her doctoral project at TU Graz, she is significantly contributing to the future security of our digital infrastructure. 👏🔒

🚮👕🔥 In Austria alone, around 220,000 tonnes of textile waste are produced every year, of which almost 80 per cent is incinerated. As a result, valuable raw materials are irretrievably lost.

A team led by Thomas Harter from the Institute of Bioproducts and Paper Technology has come up with a sustainable solution to this problem. The researchers have developed a process to recover the fibres from cotton-based used textiles and use them to produce paper for packaging materials. 📦

🧑‍🎓🛷 On average, students at TU Graz devote around 35 hours to their studies, and this number can increase during exam periods. Those who are also pursuing high-performance sport find it difficult to reconcile their training and competition schedules with courses and examination dates.

This should now become easier: From summer term 2025, athletes will benefit from the KADA support programme as well as more flexible study arrangements to help combine studying and competitive sport.

🛡️🛰️ In recent years, GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) jamming attacks have increased significantly, especially in crisis areas, and have essentially impaired critical infrastructure. This potential danger will increase in the future, which is why preventive measures are necessary.

The navigation working group at the Institute of Geodesy at Graz University of Technology has dedicated itself to this topic and developed a risk assessment tool that enables companies and institutions to check their own infrastructure for hazards and prepare for potential interference: https://t.co/YB0slqa7vg

As part of a newly signed memorandum of understanding, TU Graz and Bundesimmobiliengesellschaft are joining forces to put innovative approaches to sustainable construction into practice. Together, they want to demonstrate how sustainability innovations can be realised in the largely standardised planning and construction process.

Their vision is one of zero-emission buildings in which the total amount of energy required for construction, operation and dismantling is taken into account in equal measure.

Choosing a future career is often a challenge for young people. With VRChances, the @GameLabGraz team at the Institute of Human-Centred Computing at Graz University of Technology has developed VR software together with Jugend am Werk Steiermark, which allows different apprenticeships to be experienced virtually in order to provide guidance when choosing a career.

📦Parcel hubs are quite mysterious entities for outsiders. It’s difficult even for experts to get an overview of what happens when, where and how, and what influence this has on the subsequent workflow.

On the other hand, this means that there is still a lot of potential for optimisation to make processes not only faster and more efficient, but also more reliable, so that parcels reach their recipients undisturbed even more often than before.

Fast and reliable work in a parcel hub is an important piece of the puzzle for successful logistics. TU Graz is carrying out research into how a focus on satisfied and well-treated employees can bring benefits. 💪📦
