The application to establish a JR Centre is draftet by the scientist in coordination with the commercial partner and submitted via the CDG's ePortal. In this capacity, the scientist represents the respective university of applied sciences.
JR Centres are established at Austrian universities of applied sciences, commercial partners can be Austrian and, under certain conditions, foreign companies.
In addition to this core model, there is the possibility to carry out sub-areas of the scientific activity of a JR Centre at another university of applied sciences, a university or research institution. Modules are set up at those locations for this purpose. Depending on the location of the external module, this can be an Austrian or an international module. A maximum of one international module can be operated per JR Centre.
