Technological R&D&I platforms are support units for research, equipped with the latest technology and specialized staff. They are characterized by their strategic value that justifies their availability to R&D, both public and private, and constitute a highly competitive reference technology center for the pharmaceutical, chemical and related industries. The main activities that take place within technological platforms are scientific services supporting research, technological development (preparation of new methods) and participation in research projects. The person responsible for the technological platform supervises all aspects whether referring to service or to infrastructure.
