Kepler Salon has become synonymous in Linz and beyond with lowering that threshold that cuts so many of us off from specialist knowledge of the most diverse kinds. Since the beginning of this year the Salon has served as a venue for popular science in the best sense of the word. A wide variety of topics were presented here and developed with enthusiastic participation from the audience. Making sure that this institution will be continued beyond Culture Capital year is one of the aims of the newly founded Friends of Kepler Salon.
The events put on by Kepler Salon have proved tremendously popular and are usually filled to capacity. The idea is for leading experts from many different areas of knowledge to give informal presentations and to discuss their findings with the audience. Inclusion of a broad range of disciplines – from the natural and technical sciences, medicine and the humanities – has been a top priority, and topics have reflected such diverse subjects as genetic engineering, microsurgery, art, theology, psychology and space meteorology.By joining the Friends of Kepler Salon you support the project of keeping Kepler Salon open as a venue for scientific dialogue beyond 2009.
