The Johannes Kepler University Linz has been actively involved in shaping education and the future of Upper Austria for over 50 years. The university has produced several thousand graduates from four faculties, ranging from engineering & technology to social sciences, business, natural sciences, law, and medicine. That said, who are the alumni of the past and present and what are the stories behind people? The new JKU podcast series, “Hörsaal Ausblicke”, focuses the limelight on its graduates.
