Austrian Research Centers Modern research is an interdisciplinary, networked approach not confined to one specific system. In this way we achieve results that prevail in the market and provide maximum benefit for the public. The success of Austrian Research Centers is based on a staff of 800 who have made us Austria's largest applied research centre.
