As is the tradition at the MCI, this year’s MCI Alumni Weekend was the convincing climax of the annual MCI Alumni & Friends series of lectures given by prominent visiting speakers.

The event began on Friday afternoon with a reception given by the MCI’s Rector Dr. Andreas Altmann, who had even more reason than usual to offer a warm welcome to the particularly notable visitors: In recognition of his services to the MCI, the Tyrol as a university location and the university system in general, Minister Töchterle presented him with the Austrian Cross of Honor for Science and Art.
