I think in this regard KDE could collaborate with the document foundation to strengthen the integration of Libre Office and the desktop,

I would be interested to see development on this and I could help with some evangelism, but right now I don't use a lot of KDE software for academic work apart from using Plasma as my DE and I don't expect this to change soon, as the relevant (cited) soft are lagging behind the competition, at least for my areas of interest.
