European Projects

Since 1995, sfs has conducted nearly 50 European projects, funded mostly by the European Commission, with partners from almost all European member states. Basic and, in particular, application-oriented research, advice and transfer projects have been accomplished in a broad range of economic sectors from industry and services, public and private, in close networking and co-operational structures with a great variety of partners on the European level: scientific institutions, sectoral and social partners, with companies, large, medium-sized and small, and consultancies, education and training institutions, non-governmental and governmental institutions, expert practitioners and other stakeholders.
