Indicator 2: Quality assurance and evaluations 
Evaluations of thematic and strategic orientation 
The Institute’s development is evaluated regularly. One economic evaluation was done in 2014–2015 in 
addition to two scientific evaluations in 2011 and 2015. In accordance with the IST Austria Act, (ISTAG), 
the Institute must be evaluated every four years. The third Institute evaluation took place in December 
2019. The seven-person evaluation panel composed of high-ranking international experts emphasised the 
remarkable accomplishments of IST Austria and confirmed that the founding vision of IST Austria has 
proven correct. The Institute can serve as an example to other countries seeking to engage in excel-
lence-based science.
