Our solutions are useful

We provide solutions for raw material production, the circular economy, sustainable construction and the built environment, and future skills and education. We have formed three research ecosystems around these themes together with our partners: SmartBio, SmartBuilt and SmartEdu.

We seek innovative solutions in partnership with businesses, industry, the public and third sectors, research and education organisations. Our hands-on projects and long-term research help companies to move forward in product development and contribute to vitality and competitiveness.

In these multidisciplinary ecosystems, we combine our high-level applied research expertise with the needs of a changing world.
