Projects (Technology)

Many of Sparkling Science’s technical projects are closely concerned with the issues of incorporating technology into society and are therefore highly interdisciplinary in character.

According to the scale, methodological demands and content of the projects, the management of the following research projects is the responsibility of the scientific or academic partners.
