R&D – PARTNERSHIPS AND NETWORKS
As an innovation-oriented research center, we regularly participate as a consortium leader in projects or tenders at EU and national level. As a result, we have a very extensive network of potential cooperation partners and the necessary expertise to set up and carry out large projects. In addition to implementing our own visions, we are always very open to participating as a project partner and are always interested in taking part in ambitious research projects.
If you are interested in realizing a project in a larger consortium or if you are still looking for a partner for your idea, we are happy to hear from you to exchange ideas and possibilities in detail. We are open to all funding projects from regional funding bodies (Lower Austria, Upper Austria, FFG) to EU-wide calls for proposals and have already successfully acquired and completed projects in all these areas.
You can find an overview of our current R&D projects in the R&D section, and partners for follow-up projects are always welcome.
