Laboratories

The TEMA research unit comprises 23 advanced laboratories, covering a wide range of scientific and technological fields — from biomechanics and robotics to energy, materials, flexible manufacturing, and microscopy. A significant share of TEMA’s scientific activity relies on experimental research, with around 80% of its scientific output stemming directly from laboratory-based work. This underscores the importance of its physical and material infrastructure for both fundamental and applied research, as well as for effective knowledge transfer from the university to the industrial sector.

In addition, TEMA incorporates transversal computational infrastructures that support and enhance the experimental and applied research conducted in its physical laboratories. These infrastructures reinforce an integrated approach based on modelling, simulation, and experimental validation, strengthening the unit’s capacity for cutting-edge scientific and technological development.
