Overview: Fields of Expertise

 TU Graz has divided its research into five innovative areas:  the Fields of Expertise. Researchers in the Fields of Expertise break new ground in basic research. They take part in interdisciplinary cooperation, gain support for outstanding projects and are based in the region as well as part of international networks. They also develop key technologies for industry and commerce, and perform research in the framework of company shareholdings and partnerships.

  • Two men are assembling devices equipped with antennas and circuit boards.

    Battery-free energy for the Internet of Things

    IoT devices without a dedicated power supply: this is the research focus of an international consortium that includes TU Graz. The EU has provided EUR 8.4 million in funding for the project, which is entitled “Ambient-6G”.   Read more

  • A portrait of Christian Trapp.

    Christian Trapp: “For me, a beautiful machine is simple.”

    Christian Trapp moved from the University of the Bundeswehr Munich to TU Graz in July. In this interview, he talks about his enthusiasm for simple and efficient machines and engines.   Read more

  • Computer graphic of a technical device in which two laser beams intersect at a point in the centre of the image at a 45-degree angle. There is a measuring instrument beneath the laser beams.

    Optical Magnetometer Measures Magnetic Field Direction for the First Time

    The scalar magnetometer conceived by Roland Lammegger and Christoph Amtmann at the Institute of Experimental Physics at TU Graz opens up new possibilities in magnetic field measurement thanks to its further development.   Read more

  • Many small white cubes on a black-and-white image.

    Light-active MOF films as a solution for future climate protection technologies

    An international research team involving TU Graz has developed flexible MOF films that can bind and release carbon dioxide (CO₂) based on light and temperature stimuli – a promising approach for future climate protection technologies.   Read more

  • Hinter einem Tisch hocken bzw. stehen 13 Personen um einen großen Flachbildschirm herum und schauen in die Kamera.

    Austrian Students Compete in the Final of the World's Most Prestigious Cybersecurity Competition

    A team of students from TU Graz, TU Vienna, the University of Vienna, JKU Linz and St. Pölten UAS has qualified for the final round of the unofficial hacking world championship in Las Vegas.   Read more

  • A diver shines a torch on a coral-covered wreck.

    TU Graz Develops a Navigation System for Divers

    Buoys located by GNSS and electromagnetic signals enable divers to navigate underwater without harming animals. A head-up display in the mask shows the appropriate routes.   Read more

  • [Translate to Englisch:]

    Alexander Lex: How can data be communicated more effectively?

    Alexander Lex is looking at the question of how interaction between humans and computers can be improved – particularly in visualisation and accessibility.   Read more

  • Model of a battery housing made of wood and steel for electric cars.

    Protective Housing in Wood-Steel Hybrid Construction

    Researchers at TU Graz have developed an environmentally friendly housing for electric car batteries. Their wood-steel construction performs excellently in safety experiments and simulations; it even outperforms the market standard in the fire protection test.   Read more

  • A woman is sitting in a laboratory next to a table with an experimental setup, wearing safety goggles.

    Measuring Air Pollutants in Real Time: ERC Proof of Concept Grant for TU Graz Physicist

    Birgitta Schultze-Bernhardt receives funding from the European Research Council for the development of a portable device that measures several pollutants simultaneously in a fraction of a second.   Read more

  • A skateboard with green wheels, the end of which someone is pushing down with one foot so that it is pointing upwards at the front. The word ‘BreadCell’ can be read at the bottom of the skateboard.

    Cellulose instead of Crude Oil: Team with Participation of TU Graz Develops Sustainable Foams

    An international research team has developed certified biodegradable and recyclable multi-purpose foams.   Read more

The great challenges of our time, such as digitalisation, sustainability or pandemics can hardly be solved by individual researchers working on their own, but require critical masses and interdisciplinary cooperation. The Fields of Expertise of TU Graz are the ideal platform for this – researchers collaborate in an interdisciplinary way and are supported by funding.

Lead Projects at TU Graz

Since 2015, TU Graz has awarded special funding for multidisciplinary lead projects. By supporting such basic research projects, outstanding areas of top research are further developed and the research profile of TU Graz is enhanced.
