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.

    TU Graz Provides Water Planning Tool with Future Forecasts up to 2055

    When water suppliers are faced with the question of how well their systems are prepared for future developments such as climate change and population growth, they now have an answer.   Read more

    Bicycle Handlebars as a Risk of Injury

    TU Graz and the “Große schützen Kleine” association have investigated abdominal injuries in children following bicycle accidents as part of a Master’s thesis. Result? The design of the handlebars makes a big difference.   Read more

  • Two men stand next to an electron microscope and look into the camera.

    New Method for Analysing Nanoporous Materials

    Using only a single electron microscope image, researchers at TU Graz can determine the type and exact position of so-called guest atoms in high-tech materials. They also come closer to solving the mystery of the blue colour of aquamarine.   Read more

    Mystery of Curling Paper Solved

    Paper printed on one side starts to curl with a delay of up to a few days. Researchers at TU Graz have discovered that this is due to solvents in the ink that over time migrate towards the unprinted side of the paper.   Read more

    TU Graz Develops Innovative Coating against Ice

    The material delays the formation of ice crystals and reduces the adhesion of ice layers. Thanks to an innovative production method, the coating is very robust and adheres to numerous surfaces.   Read more

    Looking for What Controls the Heart

    Peter Macheroux from the Institute of Biochemistry at TU Graz wants to know why the heart works the way it does. A conversation about enzymes, proteins, hormones and nerve conduction.   Read more

    TU Graz Researchers Optimize 3D Printing of Optically Active Nanostructures

    The shape, size and optical properties of 3-dimensional nanostructures can now be simulated in advance before they are produced directly with high precision on a wide variety of surfaces.   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.
