Basic and applied research are closely related within the AERL.

The institute offers its interdisciplinary theoretical- and methodical competences in the field of environmental research to all interested companies, authorities and research organizations and is also interested in the integration within international projects also by co-ordinating them.

The AERL is open to all requests of companies, which would either like to develop their methods and products in an environmental friendly way, or to process them on base of new methods or processes.
