Fondazione Graphitech

GraphiTech, Centre for Advanced Computer Graphics Technologies, was envisioned as a joint venture between the INI-GraphicsNet Stiftung, the Cultural Institute of Trento (Istituto Trentino di Cultura, now Fondazione Bruno Kessler) and the University of Trento (Università degli Studi di Trento). GraphiTech has been established in order to conduct research and development activities in the broad technology area of advanced computer graphics, mixed reality, information and communication systems. The aim of the joint venture is to enhance the competitiveness of Trentino’s industries through the development and application of advanced computer graphics. The Foundation’s mission is to contribute towards the transfer of knowledge between the research sector and the industry through the promotion of research on advanced graphics, information processing and visual communication, including mixed reality and virtual engineering. GraphiTech, through its activities, stimulates collaboration and friendship in the field of information technology, between the Trentino province, Italy and Germany and it performs world-class research and development in advanced computer graphics technologies and services. Its international nature is strengthened by GraphiTech’s membership to the INI-GraphicsNet the widest research network in computer graphics worldwide. GraphiTech is involved in several projects both at the EU and at the national level. Projects are carried out as R&D activities, both through financing by EU or local framework programmes, as well as through applied research projects, commissioned by industries or local authorities.
