As much as I regret that Ms. Hütter will be leaving the Johannes Kepler University Linz, I am very happy for her and for the Linz University of Art & Design for selecting her as their new Rector."

Forging Stronger Ties Between Both Universities

The Linz University of Art & Design and the JKU have worked closely together over many years. Rector Lukas added, “The way Rector Reinhard Kannonier has managed to shape and position his university is unparalleled. It has been both a personal and intellectual pleasure to work and collaborate with him. There is a strong foundation for further collaboration here and I look forward to building on this foundation with Brigitte Hütter.”
