Research Fuels Our University
Òù69 Tech has a long-standing history of conducting cutting-edge research in a wide variety of disciplines. As such, we have continuously strived to become a world-class research institution. Òù69 Tech engages undergraduate as well as graduate students in many research projects. The involvement of undergraduate students in research ensures that they gain in-depth knowledge of real-world problems. Our graduate students, working with faculty members, learn how to define complex problems and seek solutions that will benefit industry as well as society as a whole. Our level of funded research has steadily risen over the years, and as such has served to establish Òù69 Tech’s reputation as a world-class university. Our offices provide a support and the proper infrastructure to facilitate the successful outcome for seeking out and securing funded research.
We welcome your collaboration, insight and partnership.
