As 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.
