After earning a degree in political science in Vienna, Marion Draxler was most recently responsible for communications at Obdach Wien, a subsidiary of Fonds Soziales Wien. Before that, she was head the PR department at the Austrian development aid organization Licht für die Welt for several years.

Ms. Draxler considers the position at the JKU as a move into science communication as well as a kind of homecoming. After 15 years in Vienna, the Linz/Urfahr native is returning to her roots. Ms. Draxler remarked: "In many areas, the JKU is a pioneer, bringing tradition and contemporaneity together in an impressive way. This makes for an exciting and socially fitting work environment. As a PR manager, I look forward to communicating everything the JKU offers, objectives, and the university’s impact beyond state borders."
