– Several new faculty appointments, bringing the current total number of IST professors to 11
– The first Call for Admissions of our Graduate School with more than 100 applicants from 26 countries
– An ERC Grant for Nick Barton and several donations, including 10 million Euro from the Invicta Foundation
