Links to Research Organizations and Research Programs and Networks

On this page you will find links to some major research programs and to research organizations working within areas related to ROSS. Many companies are doing both research and consulting. It is therefore not always clear whether they should be classified as research establishments or consulting companies. Therefore you should also consult the links to consulting companies. The listing does not indicate any priority.
