Competence centers

The institutes collaborate in the development of five competence centers - Plastics Innovation Competence Center (PICC), ROSAS Center, Smart Living Lab, iPrint Center and Biofactory Competence Center (BCC) . The first three of them address social issues, including the bio-economy, the mobility of the future and the future of the built environment. The iPRINT Center and BCC develop state-of-the-art processes for manufacturing using inkjet printing and services for the biopharmaceutical industry. The fields concerned strongly integrate the challenges of digitisation.
