Sure we have some smart people. Also Zeilinger from last year.

But first, will we be able to fill our programs with austrian smart people or are we more and more dependent on foreign students (I am not against foreign students, but I have experiences were 98% of program participants are foreign students)

Second, single geniuses will hardly be kept in austria. What matters for a nation is a broad distribution of (high) knowledge. Elementary and high schools are given more and more limited resources.

University is the same trend. Uni budgets are hardly pushing the inflation driven cost increas.
