Research

FRISSBE research areas have a wide span as can be seen in the graphics. Impact on the Sustainable Development Goals proposed by the United Nations was also recognized for each area of research.

Internal research projects

Internal research projects involve researchers from the FRISSBE Department in collaboration with other ZAG Units. Below you will find the list of our internal projects carried out since 2022. If you have questions about a project, please feel free to contact its coordinator.
