Applied research is a methodology used to solve a specific, practical issue affecting an individual or group. For example, while fundamental research focuses on investigating the underlying principles of a new technology, applied research is dedicated to identifying how can this new technology improve current means of use, work and production. The applied approach often includes iterations of concepts and products based on trial and error principle as well as involving the target groups at every stage of the design process.
