Congratulations to Markus Starkl, Institute of Mathematics, who achieved one of the April 2024 selected "Environmental Science and Technology" Best Paper Awards for 2022, for his co-authored manuscript "Can International Nonsewered Sanitation Standards Help Solve the Global Sanitation Crisis?", awarded as third joint runner up in the category "Feature, Viewpoint, or Perspective".

We welcome new professor Fernando Cordero at BOKU Institute of Mathematics. His career spans from Chile to France to Germany and now Austria. He describes, analyzes and applies models for the development of populations subject to evolutionary forces, such as selective or environmental factors. His combination of professional competence with an outstandingly friendly personality are a perfect match for BOKU. Image: F. Cordero, department presentation, BOKU Festsaal.
