Knowledge Centres
In partnership with other institutes, universities and the business sector, YKI runs and cooperates with a series of research centres.
Research centres are important in creating strong research and innovation milieux. They are effective tools which allow urgent research to be tackled on a broad front. Collaboration allows sub-tasks to be divided between the players with the best resources and equipment.
