The story

Eurac Research was administratively founded in 1992, but actually started working in 1993. In its early years, twelve employees carried out research in language and law, alpine environment, minorities, and autonomy. The first major project was a feasibility study for the foundation of a new university in Bozen, completed in 1997. Over the years, the scope of research expanded to include management and corporate culture, genetic medicine, and renewable energy. In 2009 the Institute of Mountain Emergency Medicine was opened, followed by the Center for Biomedicine in 2011.
