Forschungskoordination
Participation in a wide variety of research projects is the basis for engineering work that is in line with the state of the art in science and technology. The companies of the GICON® Group are currently involved in around 40 different research projects.
The Department of Research Coordination is an internal and external service provider for the acquisition of funding as well as for the coordination and organization of research projects, including billing and the verification of use.
In addition, the department organizes cooperation with external partners. In addition to project-related collaborations, the department has framework cooperation agreements with several colleges and universities. This enables the targeted establishment of relationships and the development of innovation partnerships. However, GICON® also has diverse and effective cooperative relationships with other companies and institutions to solve special problems in the context of complex tasks. These research collaborations are an important basis for the targeted implementation of the innovation concept.
An overview of GICON's completed R&D projects can be found below under "References".
Our performance aspiration - A good solution for you!
