Jump to: navigation, search

A research institute is an establishment endowed for doing research. Research institutes may specialize in basic research or may be oriented to applied research. Although the term often implies scientific research, there are also many research institutes in the social sciences as well, especially for sociological and historical research purposes. Some research institutes are associated with public education museums such as the Monterey Bay Aquarium's research institute.[1]

One of the earliest research institutes was Tycho Brahe's Uraniborg complex on the island of Hven, a sixteenth-century astronomical laboratory set up to make highly-accurate measurements of the stars. In the United States there are numerous notable research institutes including Bell Labs, The Scripps Research Institute[2] and SRI.
