CEET has a long-term collaboration with the public sector and industry partners, primarily through joint scientific research projects and contract research. Its unique infrastructure, equipped with state-of-the-art instrumentation, provides researchers with the facilities and potential for exploration across four defined research areas, ensuring the efficient transfer of methods and technologies from science to the commercial sector. Cooperation with industry and the public sector accounts for more than half of the total funding acquired by the university. Selected examples showcase this collaboration.
