We not only want to keep pace with technological development, but
intend to shape it as well. The development and market introduction
of new products and services and the complete satisfaction of
the customers’ needs in a constantly changing market economy
environment are essential for ÉMI.
Since our merging with the Building Research Institute (Építéstudományi
Intézet, ÉTI) in 1998, ÉMI’s Research and Development and Innovation
activity has entered the international arena (particularly the European
Union). R & D & I mainly in the field of applied research and experimental
development is backed by a national network of laboratories with
modern equipments. The results thus achieved are used in the form
of publications, conference presentations, and university courses.
Getting involved in international research gave a further incentive to
our research and development, in part with EU grants now becoming
available to us, and in part by joining the ranks of cutting edge
international science.
The international research activity started in 2000 is growing and
encompassing an increasing number of specialized areas. To date,
ÉMI is participating in European calls for proposals as a cooperative or
consortium partner for several Western European associate research
institutes.
In addition to research and development funded through grants, ÉMI
does a wide range of RDI work based on requests of partners and
clients. Half a century of knowledge our company has accumulated,
and a well-equipped laboratory background provide an excellent basis
for applied research and experimental development.
