RESEARCH HUB FOR APPLIED SCIENCES
Founded in 2015, INCESA (Research Hub for Applied Sciences) is currently one of the largest Romanian applied research organizations.
The PAST and the PRESENT define us, but the FUTURE will connect us
FROM THE PORTFOLIO
INCESA is currently one of the largest Romanian organizations of applied research. It was designed to support the regional evolution of R&D infrastructure and activities according to the institutional strategy of the University of Craiova that will enhance:
- – integration to the European research networks;
- compatibility with the EU research infrastructure;
- multidisciplinary research capacity.
INCESA (Research Hub for Applied Sciences) is intended to be an inspiring co-working space for driving effective innovation for the benefit of ever wider communities.
Times have changed, people have changed … we need to harmoniously meet the expectations of cutting-edge researchers, entrepreneurs and strategic business and socio-cultural partners in a most active and interactive way.
INCESA is a hub, framing mindsets, incubating innovative ideas and intensifying and amplifying outcomes for all the intended destinations. Manageably. Outreaching. Feedforwarding.
More particularly, our lines of action include, but are not limited to:
- Development of a project-based culture, involving our own resources exploitation and attraction of new ones (from our partners, universities and companies);
- Activation of mechanisms allowing for business partners’ involvement in providing viable solutions to identified or anticipated problems – for instance, via CTT (Centre for Technology Transfer) – INCESA so as to be recognised as an integrating and driving force;
- Networking growth from a collaborative level to an associative one via the establishment of legal entities re-uniting leading actors in every field of interest to jointly undertake RDI activities and projects;
- Generation of re-usable solutions as well as tailored;
- Capitalisation of expertise so as to contribute to the re-chartering of long-held and well-known industries and/or brands of the region;
- To us, networking is defined as dynamic, co-creative, shaped by a “can-do” spirit and determination to face challenges.
As a pyramid research organization, it is able to:
- connect the doctoral schools with the initial and lifelong learning, training and professional development in our university;
- bring together international scientists for joint research activities;
- train the researchers from the business environment.
