Although we consider basic research as the priority area of the Institute activity, with publications in prestigious international journals as its main output, valuable applied research founded on solid basic research, with particular practical applications, is also being developed at our Institute. Also in this area the Institute has achieved significant success, with several well-prospering spin-off companies established in the past years as a result – these companies maintain close collaborations with several of our research groups.
