Research and Development
The most competitive area for FRACTAL is the development of engineering projects with scientific goals. This
is due to the professional and academic background of FRACTAL staff. To work in these projects the close
collaboration between our company and the universities and research centers becomes essential, establishing
important synergies. FRACTAL SLNE is actively collaborating in some R+D projects:
- AstroMadrid
Astrophysics and Technological Developments in Madrid (funded by the Regional Government). The goal of this
project is to create a multi-disciplinary group that can benefit from the synergies between Public Research
Centers and Private Engineering Companies located in Madrid to optimize the development of astronomical
instruments for the Scientific Community.
Coordination: Centro de Astrobiología (INTA-CSIC).
- ASTRID
Scientific Instrumentation Development (Research Centers and Universities in Madrid)
