Summary
Soon after its foundation in 1966, Johannes Kepler Universität Linz was the first Austrian university fo follow Anglo-American patterns in reviving the over 120-year-old tradition of further education. After more than a decade of honorary activities in further education, the Senate Department for Further Education was established in the middle of 1981. Anticipating the reform of the university organization law, this senate department was dissolved in 1993, integrated with its scope of duties and its staff into the organization department of the university direction, and renamed "Department for Further Education". From February 7 - 10, 1994, the new further education team organized a presentation of the results of university research and development which found wide publicity in national and international media. 1670 visitors attended the presentation. In this large-scale attempt to integrate the most important science transfer functions of a university, questions of organizational and didactic planning of similar presentation events were raised. A detailed account of these questions is given in the short evaluation represented here.
