At MCI research serves as an inspiration for our teaching as MCI faculty create state of the art knowledge and know-how to be passed on to the students. At the same time research at MCI serves as a basis for service to the community. With its expertise MCI faculty and researchers contribute to the technological, economic and societal development of its environment. MCI research strives to support regional, national and international partners in their innovation activities to increase efficiency and competitiveness.
As an integrational executive department, R & D Services supports and links the rector’s office, the scientific departments, academic services and study programs of the MCI in connection with issues related to research, technology and innovation, including in particular
For many years the MCI has been involved in joint projects with leading companies in the fields of chemical engineering, biotechnology and food process engineering and also in the metal-working and environmental engineering industries.
In addition to
Client specific studies:If your daily business is hampered, your innovation efforts stall or your efficiency slumps, MCI expertise could serve as partner to address your specific problems. Our customized studies and projects provide you with inspiration, ideas and solutions, often developed in close interaction with the fresh minds of our students.
These projects can provide the opportunity for you to address your problem from a different and novel perspective to help you solve the issue.
Research CollaborationIn our research collaboration with businesses and organizations we jointly follow the creation of new knowledge, the development of new products, services or processes and the dissemination of knowledge within the partners and beyond.
It is high importance for us that all partners involved a collaborative research endeavor benefit and hence create a win-win-situation. Often our collaborative research is facilitated and supported by national and international research funding through FFG, TTFP, InterReg, Euregio or the EU Commission.
Contract ResearchMCI drives solution oriented projects together with national and international business partners. We provide knowledge and know-how transfer to support a powerful and sustainable society and to support the competitiveness of industry. Within the established research priorities our research staff works on numerous projects also on collaboration students.
As a partner you have access to our high-end infrastructure, to our academic expertise and to our industrial and business know-how. Additionally you have access to a broad pool of talent.
Sponsoring:MCI provides different modes how businesses and institutions can support relevant research conducted at the Entrepreneurial School® for instance through sponsorships, donations and naming donations.
Endowments:Various different cooperation models are available, dependent on the relevant areas and aims.
As the Entrepreneurial School®, the MCI supports faculty, students, and graduates in their entrepreneurial activities. MCI’s Research, Innovation and Entrepreneurship Services provides assistance with the generation, protection and commercial exploitation of research results and more generally it provides initial information about launching a start-up, about entrepreneurship, and about commercial exploitation of research findings.
Fostering young people's entrepreneurship skills is increasingly seen as a way to drive economic growth while also addressing pressing social issues. The last five years have seen growth in the number of HEIs (higher education institutions) offering entrepreneurship education of some kind. Nevertheless, absolute levels of student entrepreneurship remain low and lag far behind competitors.
For these reasons, the “Embedding Entrepreneurship Education” project, funded by the Erasmus+ Program of the European Union, is designed with a clear objective: to increase the proportion of HEI students acquiring an entrepreneurial mind-set and engaging in early stage entrepreneurial activity.
The project is carried out jointly by Univations (Germany), University of Szeged (Hungary), UIIN University Industry Innovation Network (The Netherlands), Canice Consulting (Northern Ireland) and MCI Management Center Innsbruck

The "Executive PhD Program in Management" jointly offered by the University of Antwerp, the Antwerp Management School and the Management Center Innsbruck is a four-year, part-time research-based program. It provides the perfect fit for senior executives who have been seeking for high-level DBA programs.
In connection with doctoral programs, MCI cooperates with the University of Innsbruck, the Medical University of Innsbruck and other universities in Austria and abroad. These cooperations allow MCI researchers (and those who want to be) to earn a doctorate during their research activities at MCI.
Innsbruck University
A cooperation agreement signed between Innsbruck University and the MCI promotes joint research work and staff integration in combined research teams and projects, includes tutoring by the MCI’s highly qualified faculty and provides for support at the MCI for Ph.D. students in their academic work.
This university partnership benefits research projects requiring major third-party funding, enhances the attractiveness and academic excellence of Innsbruck University and the MCI, supports recruitment of high-flying academics, and facilitates the creation of cross-disciplinary research teams incorporating the strengths of the two partners. All the examinations prescribed for the doctorate are taken at Innsbruck University, which also confers the degree.
Innsbruck Medical University
Innsbruck Medical University (MUI) and Management Center Innsbruck (MCI) have announced the signing of a cooperation agreement by the two institutions providing for joint research groups and shared tutoring for doctoral students.
Following the decision to cooperate more closely in future, the MUI and the MCI can look forward to synergies generated by coordinating and pooling their respective fields of competence and strengths. In addition to the two universities and their students, the new system will also benefit the Tyrol as a location for science, technology and business, and patient care in the region.
