A Strategic Partnership
Scientific and technological innovation between companies and universities
Joint Research Platforms are modern tools that go beyond traditional business-university collaborations by favouring sustainable and responsible scientific and technological innovation under medium- and long-term agreements.
Global challenges feature a high degree of complexity and extremely multidisciplinary needs. At the same time, companies’ needs are increasingly broad, ranging from recruiting human resources to dedicated training courses, PhDs, and multidisciplinary research projects aimed at growth and continuous innovation, and even joint laboratories.
