The Core Faculty is currently (May 2021) composed of 124 members. Almost all Core Faculty members are involved in either academic or practice-oriented research (most of them are involved in both). Moreover, in the School, there are 90 PhD students.
Over the period 2012 to 2017, the School further consolidated its national leadership position.
Core Faculty members have been very active in practice-oriented research.
The results in this domain are outstanding:
- The number of practice-oriented conferences and seminars organised more than doubled between 2012 and 2017, up to 280.
- The number of people attending the events organised by the School increased by more than 50%, up to 25.000.
- The School now reached a community of more than 150,000 practitioners.
The amount of funding from private companies and public institutions has been increasing considerably over the years, from 9.0 million Euros in 2012 to 15.7 million Euros in 2017 (+75%). The 2017 figure corresponds to almost 140,000 Euros for each Core Faculty member.
Private companies have become a fundamental source of funding for the School’s research, with a remarkable improvement (+100%) from 2012 to 2017.
The amount of funding from public institutions is stable, with a large share (72% on average) received from international/foreign public institutions (mainly the European Commission).
