VIVES labs

Our society is constantly evolving. It is therefore important to be able to detect wishes and needs at close quarters. This is often only possible through good interaction and cooperation between different stakeholders, because innovation occurs at crossroads. That's what we at VIVES are convinced of.

VIVES has several labs that are engaged in practical scientific research within current themes. A typical feature of these labs is that they are easily accessible.
