The JKU highly values inter-faculty and cross-disciplinary events. Under the guidance of Prof. Alois Birklbauer (JKU) and Prof. Andreas Valentin (Donaustadt Hospital Vienna), legal and medical experts shared their different perspectives as part of the "Learning to Understand Each Other – A Conversation between the Legal and Medical Professions" discussion series.
