At its meeting on December 14, 2021, Jacobs University's Board of Governors appointed Professor Fabio Pammolli as the international university's new President and Chairman of the Executive Board. The 55-year-old professor of economics and management at the Polytechnic University of Milan (on leave) will take office on January 1, 2022. Concurrently, the supervisory board of Jacobs University reconstituted itself. Serguei Beloussov, Founder and Chairman of the Board of the Schaffhausen Institute of Technology (SIT), the majority shareholder of Jacobs University, was elected as Chairman of the Board.
With the election of Professor Pammolli, the Schaffhausen Institute of Technology and Jacobs University are also moving closer together in terms of personnel.

Professor Pammolli is a coauthor of a recent book on innovation and growth of business firms (‘The Growth of Business Firms. A Stochastic Framework on Innovation, Creative Destruction and Growth’, Cambridge University Press, 2020). He is a member of SIT's Strategic Advisory Board. He served as the Founding Rector of the IMT School for Advanced Studies in Italy and as a member of the Investment Committee within the European Fund for Strategic Investments at the European Investment Bank.

In his long academic career, Professor Pammolli has been visiting Boston University, the London School of Economics, Sciences Po, Harvard University, Northeastern University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, among others.
