Research and development at LCM
Our national and international funding projects aim to generate maximum impact through the targeted transfer of knowledge from research to industry and to develop innovative solutions for practical challenges.
Our research areas
ACT
actuator technology, as one of the core functions of every mechatronic system, as well as the holistic design of complex systems.
MECON
Complex mechatronic systems and their digital representations for the purpose of control and optimization.
SENS
Sensor technology as a sensory organ of systems and fused data processing with a link to machine learning.
SYMB
Transdisciplinary context of mechatronics with its interfaces to humans, the environment and the digital world.
Research network
LCM’s intensive cooperation with international universities and research partners is the basis of a sustainable internationalization strategy. The scientific results of the Comet K2 research projects, together with the expertise of our employees, form the basis for the successful development of new smart, networked or autonomous systems.
Research projects
Our national and international research projects create maximum added value for industry through the targeted transfer of knowledge from science to practice. These funded projects set new standards in mechatronics and drive innovative solutions for future challenges.

FFG Success Stories
As Scientific Director, it is a key concern of mine to actively promote diversity, equal rights and equal opportunities. Supporting women in science and research is particularly important to me. That is why I am committed to offering women targeted career opportunities – especially in management positions and as project managers.Dipl.-Ing. Dr. Manfred Nader Chief Scientific Officer (CSO)
Science becomes female
At the Linz Center of Mechatronics (LCM), we specifically support female researchers and technicians at the start of their careers and are committed to equal opportunities for all employees. Diversity strengthens creativity, decision-making quality and teamwork.
With clear goals and measures, we create an environment that offers all genders equal opportunities for personal and professional success – and make LCM an attractive employer for top talent.
Gender Equality Plan
It is one of LCM’s core values that all people have the same opportunities and development possibilities in their professional lives. and development possibilities in their professional lives. With our management mission statement, we have committed ourselves to a culture that sees diversity as an opportunity and differences as an important resource. Our managers recognize performance and development potential and support all people in their professional and personal development. Our Gender Equality Plan (GEP) focuses on gender equality. However, there are also measures in the plan that are explicitly aimed at eliminating existing numerical imbalances.
