On May 11, 2023, the Rectorate invited KL students, KL Alumni Club members and teaching staff to a fireside chat with neuroscientist Dr. Dietrich Haubenberger. Dietrich Haubenberger is one of the most successful Austrians:abroad in the U.S. in the field of neuroscience. The neurologist conducts translational research with a focus on movement disorders. In addition to being a leter of clinical translational research at the biopharmaceutical company Neurocrine Biosciences in San Diego, he has been president of ASciNA (Austrian Scientists and Scholars in North America) since 2019. The fireside chat was followed by an exclusive get-together for Alumni Club members in the Filmbar.

Sandra Gaupmann is Head of the Psychological Service at Stein Prison and reported on the work of psychologists in the prison system on November 29. She gave an insight into the definition of the term "forensic psychology" as well as the diagnosis, treatment and care of prisoners with a focus on risk management, danger reduction and resocialization. In a discussion with Dr. Jürgen Goller, Head of Psychology at KL, Ms. Gaupmann spoke about the psychological causes of delinquency, the benefits of treating prisoners for the population and culpability in connection with mental illness.

Following this thematically very exciting fireside chat, a network meeting was held in a relaxed atmosphere for all Alumni Club members present, where Ms. Gaupmann was available for discussions and exchanges.

The Alumni Club de KL would like to thank Ms. Gaupmann for the successful evening, the insights into forensic psychology and the exchange afterwards.
