Challenges met through multidisciplinary research programmes
MTT carries out research within eight fixed-term research programmes. The programmes enable a multidisciplinary approach to research, essential to problem-solving.
Programme-based research allows us to focus our resources in a customer-orientated manner and to react rapidly to changes in research needs. In this way we are better able to meet the research needs of society and business life.
The programmes create the framework for cooperation between research organisations. They provide a channel for linking with national and EU-level research programmes. The research programmes form clearly-defined entities, making it easy to involve customers in their planning and utilisation.
The research programmes comprise a set of spearhead projects. The programmes aggregate research cooperation partners and research result beneficiaries, involving them in the projects. Each research programme has a coordinator in charge of the results and successful completion of the research programme.
The research programmes exploit the expertise maintained by MTT's six research areas.
