Projects
Together with the private sector, the public sector or scientific institutions, we carry out applied research projects. The starting point is always a current question, a problem or a development need from practice. Funding is provided through contracts or competitive research funds. The knowledge gained from the projects is utilised within the framework of knowledge and technology transfer.
