A varied evening is in store on the University of Graz campus: on 29 May 2026, Uni Vibes – the festival that transcends borders – invites you to enjoy a diverse mix of science, art and music. The new programme is now available online.

For the third time, Uni Vibes – the festival that transforms the University of Graz campus into a stage for science and art – is taking place. The event kicks off with Dutch artist Lucas de Man presenting an interactive performance exploring questions about the future of society, followed by participatory guided tours of the university library.

Exploratory tours of the campus offer insights into current construction projects and the future of research, whilst workshops in the Open Lab invite visitors to experiment. Contemporary circus, international music acts and DJ sets ensure artistic diversity and a festival atmosphere.

The musical highlight is the “Balkan Block Party” in the courtyard of the main building – an energetic fusion of brass, beats and global sounds.
