Professor Anders Møller has - for the second time - been selected by the European Research Council (ERC) to receive a Proof-of-Concept Grant, this time to support the project Vulnerability Exposure Analysis for JavaScript, which focuses on software security. The Proof-of-Concept grants, each worth 150.000 euro, help researchers to bridge the gap between the discoveries stemming from their frontier research and the practical application of the findings, including early phases of their commercialisation. The funding is part of the EU's research and innovation programme, Horizon Europe.

In October 2022, Michael Wessely joined the department as a tenue-track assistant professor in the Collaboration and Computer-Human Interaction group (CoCHI). Michael has already received two grants, started building new labs at the department, and is preparing to teach the ITPDP course for IT Product Development students.
