Infrastructure

The existing research infrastructure is valued closed to 6.5 M Euros and consists in over 20 research equipment with an individual value of more than 100,000 Euros considered fundamentally for increasing the ICSTM of VUT chances of absorbing funds from:

  • national and international CDI projects
  • the institutional development fund (CNFIS-FDI)
  • contracts with other universities, institutes, agencies, organizations and economic agents.

The certified/accredited research equipment from the ICSTM endowment is presented in detail on the platform https://eeris.eu/ERIF-2000-000Y-0122 and https://916.icstm.ro/.
