As an Austrian, I‘m very happy that the just ten year old IST Institute made it to second place. What really sets this institute apart is its lack of departments and thus its organic multi-disciplinary approach and culture. An approach I personally find very fruitful in my social relationships as well, as I learn so much from people who do different things than I do. It‘s enriching in more ways than I imagined.
- nextos 7y agoAs a non-Austrian doing fairly well at a top university, IST has put Austrian academia in my list of possible next stops and far higher than much more prestigious places. From what I've heard from some fellows, they are doing a really good job at creating a nice academic place sans all the bullshit that comes associated with that lately i.e., politics. Probably a fresh start helped.
