The Center for Scientific and Technological Support to Research (CACTI) was created in 1991 as a response to the needs for specialized research resources. This initiative was the first in the region and the pioneer, since then in the incorporation of unique and singular technological offers, not only in the region but also in the country. Over time, the center has grown in equipment and personnel. The CACTI has two locations: the largest and the widest range of services is located at the Vigo Campus and the other one is located at the Ourense Campus. The highly qualified and specialized technical staff working at the CACTI is responsible for the operation and use of the equipment, as well as to support and assist users. The great technological potential is available to researchers from the University of Vigo, as well as from other universities, public organizations, companies and entities to provide support for both, basic and applied research, in a wide range of scientific fields. The Center’s aim is to contribute to scientific and technological development, improving the quality of life, encouraging economic development, transferring knowledge and cooperating with society.
