Research Research groups

Where experience meets talent

By working in groups, we accelerate the development of knowledge and its implementation. Each group is led by an experienced group leader, who ensures the direction, focus and sustainable development of the group and the well-being and professional development of its members. The specialized knowledge is applied in one or more research programs.
