Applied Research & Development, Innovation and Technology Transfer Centre
HEIG-VD has set up a support structure for our Applied R&D institutes: the Applied R&D, Innovation and Technology Transfer Centre. It helps guide companies to the institute that can provide the right solutions for the problems concerned, to develop a technological project or obtain a service. The institutes can then focus on their specific skills.
The Applied R&D Centre manages projects by assisting with contractual and intellectual property aspects and helping to realise their potential. It also provides access to sources of co-funding, on a regional, national and European level.
