Founded in 1966 as the Hochschule für Sozial- und Wirtschaftswissenschaften (College of Social and Economic Sciences), renamed in 1975 in honour of Johannes Kepler (the 17th-century astronomer who taught and discovered the planetary laws of motion in Linz). Approximately 24,000 students across four faculties (Law; Social Sciences/Economics/Business; Engineering & Natural Sciences; Medicine). JKU's Institute for Machine Learning (founded and led for many years by Sepp Hochreiter, co-inventor of LSTM neural networks) is one of continental Europe's leading AI research centres. The Medical Faculty was added in 2014 in partnership with the Kepler University Hospital, making JKU one of Austria's youngest medical schools.
