Internal Affair: Publishing the Last Issue of the Kepler Tribune

For the time being, we have published the last issue of the Kepler Tribune. The Johannes Kepler University has also been affected by the currently massive rate of inflation. As we take a grateful look back, we would like to first and foremost mention our colleague, Elke Strobl, who was the Kepler Tribune's proverbial heart and soul, along with the inspiring team at our Department for University Communication. In addition, the kest agency and Fleisch Verlag played a key role in publishing the Kepler Tribune, as did all of the authors, illustrators, photographers, and graphic designers we attracted over the years. Norbert Trawöger created a special kind of magic with the Kepler Salon supplement. Last but not least, we would like to thank our faculty members for providing outstanding material for the Kepler Tribune as well a their unique insight into the world of academic research!

Why provide all of this information and insight? I would like to simply refer you to an article in the last edition written by my colleague Matthias Fink: "When it comes to answering complex questions, it's like roast pork - if you don't know where it come from, don't eat it. University research is commissioned and financed by society to address and provide answers to complex questions. That's the kind of real impact universities have."

The Kepler Tribune

By creating the "Kepler Tribune", the Johannes Kepler University Linz has succeeded in bringing science together with journalism, both of which are indispensable elements to support social development and serve as the basis for public decision-making. The goal: To build a solid and high-quality bridge between research and society.
