R&D – Partners and Networks

As innovation driven research center, CEST is actively applying and leading a wide range of projects funded by the EU or national funding institutions. As a result of this efforts, CEST can provide its expertise to carry out large projects from application to the completion of the different project tasks. Beside the realization of our own visions, we are always open to participate as reliable project partner in ambitious research proposals.

If you are looking for a large-scale project, a greater consortium or a partner, we are looking forwards to discuss your ideas and the corresponding funding possibilities. We are basically open for all funding possibilities, ranging from national institutions (NÖ, OÖ, FFG) to different EU calls, and have successful carried out projects in all funding schemes in the past.

A short overview about the currently running R&D projects can be found in the R&D section. whereas new partners in follow up projects of the described topics are welcome every time.
