AIT

The AIT Austrian Institute of Technology is Austria’s largest research and technology organisation. Among the European research institutes, AIT is a specialist in the key infrastructure issues of the future.

AIT provides research and technological development to realize basic innovations for the next generation of infrastructure related technologies in the fields of Energy, Mobility Systems, Low-Emission Transport, Health & Bioresources, Digital Safety & Security, Vision, Automation & Control and Technology Experience. These technological research areas are supplemented by the competence in the area of Innovation Systems & Policy.

CENTER FOR MOBILITY SYSTEMS. Holistic, intelligent and sustainable: Solutions for the mobility of tomorrow. The Center for Mobility Systems carries out its research independently – on behalf of science – and develops solutions – on behalf of the economic sector. More than 100 highly-qualified, specialised and international experts work at the Center for Mobility Systems
