Letter from the Scientific Director

Vincenzo FerrariAs this Newsletter reveals, the Oñati Institute is in good health.
The 2016-17 Master Course was no doubt successful. All our students proved very satisfactory and there are good chances that they may have access to further steps in the world of research. Some were indeed brilliant and produced works of significant interest, which might turn into publishable scientific contributions quite soon. Alexander Brandão and Florencia Radeljak scored very high, winning the prizes, respectively, as the best student of the Academic Year and as the author of the best final thesis.
A new master course has taken a promising start. Fourteen students from the most diverse parts of the world enrolled and are currently running their courses.
