At the end of 2014 there were 28 PhD holding members and 77 researchers and post-graduation students working at the Institute, which in that year were responsible for the publication of 77 articles in peer-reviewed (10 other were in press), 10 chapters of internationally edited books (2 other were in press), 12 PhD and 20 MSc theses. Additionally, 103 communications were presented in international scientific conferences by members of IPC and 6 patents were granted to, or applied for, by member of IPC. This output is consistent with the trend of the last years, albeit with some variations from year to year. Concurrently, there was an undeniable consolidation of the international visibility of the members of the Institute, as a result of increasing editorial activities, of the consistent organization of scientific events and invitations for conferences and of the award of international prizes.
