After more than 10 years dedicated to the creation and development of the IMDEA Software Institute, Manuel Hermenegildo, founding director, stepped down to devote more time to research. He has been promoted by the Boards to the rank of Distinguished Professor.

The Board of Trustees, with the unanimous support of the Scientific Advisory Board, appointed Manuel Carro, former Deputy Director, as the new director of the Institute. Dr. Carro is Associate Research Professor at the Institute since 2011 and is also Associate Professor at the Technical University of Madrid, where he obtained his PhD in Computer Science.
