Italy and abroad. According to the Times Higher Education World University 
Rankings 
2019<https://www.timeshighereducation.com/world-university-rankings>, the 
university is the ninth world?s best small university and it is the second 
best young Italian University, and its Faculty of Computer Science is 
ranked among the 150 best Computer Science departments worldwide (in 
absolute terms) and it is the 21st best Computer Science department 
worldwide for scientific citations. According to the same ranking, the 
Faculty of Computer Science of the Free University of Bozen-Bolzano is the
