She will take up her new position on October 1, 2011. This will be the first time in 196 years that a woman has called the shots at Vienna University of Technology.

In total there were 10 applicants for the post. Six of these were invited to open meetings held on January 31 and February 1. Afterwards the selection committee presented the Senate with a shortlist of three candidates. This list was passed unaltered to the University Council, which they then used to make their decision. The University Council thanks all the candidates for their high quality applications.
