Joint Research Projects

Begin of page section: Contents:

Research cooperation in the areas of natural sciences between Graz University of Technology and the University of Graz has a long tradition. Indeed, research cooperation and especially inter-university research projects are an important nucleus for the implementation and further development of NAWI Graz, as these projects have fostered many new partnerships between scientists. Since the beginning, NAWI Graz has placed strong emphasis on inter-university research projects located at the interface between epistemological and application-oriented research, in order to support these as much as possible.

As a result, scientists have started to apply for collaborative projects like DKs and SFBs, which are carried out in a much larger context. NAWI Graz has been focusing on these collaborative research projects since 2010. As these are subject to strict evaluation criteria, they strive for very high quality standards. Furthermore, collaborative research projects have a long-term perspective and bring together researchers from both universities and often from various disciplines.

The success of NAWI Graz in terms of research is reflected in the development of third-party funding. Starting with 15.6 million Euro in 2006, the annual third-party income increased to 32 Euro million in 2018. A total of 450 research projects are conducted in the NAWI Graz areas of Graz University of Technology and the University of Graz per year.

As doctoral students are integrated in research projects, there is a close relationship between joint research efforts and doctoral training within the framework of the Graz Advanced School of Science (GASS).
