The initiative "Go! Research" (Forschungsimpulse) started in February 2018 in order to evaluate the potential for research activities at the University Clinics in St.Pölten, Krems and Tulln. As a result a set of measures was designed, that is now realised by means of a specific funding from the regional government of Lower Austria.
The main goals of Go! Research are:
