The research facility was founded in 2001/2002 according to a concept by Peter A. Bruck and started under the umbrella of the leading Austrian research company, the “Austrian Research Centers Seibersdorf” (ARC Seibersdorf GmbH), as “Research Studios Austria” (RSA) . The ARC is the predecessor of today's " Austrian Institute of Technology " (AIT). The Research Studios were spun off from the ARC in 2008 and have since operated as an independent research facility "Research Studios Austria Forschungsgesellschaft" (RSA FG) with a total of four research locations.

structure

The research company focuses on the transfer of knowledge and technology from universities to the market and is organized in research studios. These are small research teams headed by renowned scientists who deal with the prototyping of innovations, especially in the context of research projects of the FFG and the EU, but also carry out contract research for customers. Research Studios Austria Forschungsgesellschaft currently has five studios and a research lab:

  1. iSPACE Smart Settlement Systems (Salzburg)
  2. iSPACE Smart 4D Environments (Salzburg)
  3. Pervasive Computing Applications (Linz / Vienna / Salzburg)
