history

Former logo

In the 1950s and early 1960s, the state of Styria founded four associations with the Association for the Promotion of Electron Microscopy , the Computer Center , the Reactor Institute and the Institute for Low Temperature Research in order to supply the Graz universities with infrastructure that could not be covered by the university budget.

These four associations were combined in 1968 under one umbrella association, the Graz Research Center . In 1986 the research company Joanneum was founded as a GmbH , the associations were gradually dissolved. The company has had its current name since 1988.
