research center

Place for investigation

A research center is a facility or organization dedicated to systematic investigation in a particular field, typically affiliated with a university, government agency, or corporation.

Research centers bring together specialists, equipment, and funding to pursue questions that individual researchers couldn't tackle alone.

They may focus on anything from cancer treatment to climate science to artificial intelligence.

The new research center will employ fifty scientists studying renewable energy.
