Helena, all,

"ITC" no longer exists, it is the foundation now. IRST was one of three
institutes of ITC (naturally called "center" to increase confusion :-).
I assume that IRST remains, maybe as FBK-irst or so. To be decided
by the politicians.

In summary: I agree that headquarted isn't really needed in the
general summary.
