In addition to our home-grown research agenda, we conduct commissioned research for other organisations such as governmental agencies, the industry, research institutes. For commissioned research, there are two alternatives:

The research projects could be conducted jointly. DEPOCEN can either take lead or work closely with our partners on a particular research projects.
The research projects could be conducted solely by DEPOCEN and the final research products will be delivered to our commissioning parties.
