Applied research

Five universities, including two focused directly on applied sciences, conduct excellent, internationally acclaimed research in Tyrol in the fields of life sciences and biomedical technology (Medical University of Innsbruck, University of Innsbruck, Tyrolean Private University UMIT TIROL, MCI Management Center Innsbruck, Health University of Applied Sciences).

Basic and clinical research play an important role through the Tirol Kliniken medical facilities. Newer findings are also generated through increased interdisciplinarity and joint efforts by research partners, pharmaceutical companies and biomedical companies
