Research that connects.
The Industrial Collective Research (IGF) and collaborative research makes it easier, especially for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), to access practical research. Companies, associations and research institutions work together on industry-specific and application-oriented solutions, with the results being publicly accessible.
