Engagement and science education initiatives at TU Graz for children, adolescents and adults
TU Graz is committed to supporting an intensive and responsible dialogue between academicians in the technical and natural sciences and members of civil society. It fulfils its social responsibility in many ways and very consciously. Acceptance and mutual understanding form the basis that allows members of society and science to jointly accept and meet the challenge of the future.

Research on Hail: Come and Join Us!
The HeDi project, which stands for Hail Event Data Interface, is hail research that you can participate in. People from all over Austria can share their observations of thunderstorms via a digital platform with researchers at TU Graz and thus contribute valuable information that helps reduce hail damage.

Sparkling Science: Research and Complex Analysis for our Health – The Apple Microbiome
Which and how many of the microorganisms found on apples are useful or potentially harmful for humans? Young people check out apples from their own garden and study their microbial composition.
The project took place as part of the Sparkling Science research programme and was funded by the BMBWF (Austrian Federal Ministry of Education, Science and Research). Projects in this programme allow researchers to work side by side with young people to address current research questions.
