CTR Carinthian Tech Research

Austria: Carinthia

Overview

CTR is a non-academic and application-oriented research centre in Carinthia and ranks among Austria’s leading research institutes in the area of "Smart Sensors and Systems Integration". Its task and objective is to develop innovative sensor technologies (photonic, sensor, micro and nano systems as well as assembly, packaging and integration technologies) for industry and to integrate them in concrete applications. CTR research will therefore play a role in meeting society’s great challenges, such as energy, mobility, health, climate and security. 

The services range from initial feasibility studies, technology monitoring, testing and simulation to systems integration and prototypes suitable for industrial applications. CTR also provides information on research programmes and is actively engaged in technology transfer.

Established in 1997, CTR has filed over 80 patents and conducts research in regional, national and international projects. Research partners include small medium and large sized companies… In the CTR laboratories a wide range of high-tech instruments are available for CTR staff, partner organisations and customers to achieve the best R&D results. The following classification provides an overview:
