CEIT Central European Institute of Technology: The Best in Research and Dvelopment.
The CEIT project aims at building up a top quality research facility in ICT in Schwechat which focuses on Central Europe.
Under the auspices of an operational company offering initial financial support, nowadays owned by the Municipality of Schwechat for 100 %, new research institutes with the best prospects for the future will be brought in.
Things were kicked off in April 2006 with two R&D groups: CEIT RALTEC and CEIT ALANOVA.
CEIT RALTEC deals with the themes of eHealthcare and eHomecare, rehabilitation and Assited Living Technologies. Part of CEIT ALANOVA’s work is the development of modern planning technologies for towns and regions linked with Information Society Technologies with emphasis on sustainability and protection of the environment.
The research themes are on the one hand visionary and oriented towards the basics, on the other set up in such a way as to be practical and conform to the market.
Within CEIT diploma theses and dissertations are possible and – in cooperation with national and international universities – finally lead to MSc and Dr (PhD) accreditation.
CEIT is designed for Central Europe and appeals particularly researchers and students from this part of Europe. There are also actions, however, for links with experts from other ICT centres, such as those in Finland, Sweden, Canada, the USA or India.
Through being coupled to the 
Early Stage Holding Company project as well to 
concorde technology center schwechat (concorde.tcs), CEIT will bring about spin-off foundations and require further new businesses at the location.
