IE University has held its 2023 Faculty Awards, the official event that recognizes the academic excellence and research work of the institution's professors. This year, IE University faculty, which comes from 55 different countries, packed the auditorium of IE Tower, IE University's new headquarters in Madrid. The university's professors teach to over 9,000 students from 140 countries on IE University’s Bachelor, Master and Executive Education programs at IE Business School, IE School of Science and Technology, IE Law School, IE School of Global and Public Affairs, IE School of Architecture and Design and the recently created IE School of Humanities.

“This year, in line with our commitment to innovation and the humanities, we wanted to pay tribute to teaching and research excellence through a contemporary audiovisual exhibition that encourages us to reflect on innovation and creativity, challenging our perceptions and stimulating our curiosity,” explained Isabel Sánchez, Vice Rector of IE University, who also recalled that over the years

“we have chosen different forms of expression, including a piece of digital art, a choreographed dance performance and an electronic music composition.”
