Why collaborate with researchers?

By conducting research in close collaboration with the surrounding community, we can develop new knowledge and share expertise together. Therefore, there are great opportunities for you and your organization to collaborate with us and our researchers on different projects.

Coming together to collaborate can bring many benefits to both parties. Our research expertise and the research results presented will benefit your organization, while the researchers will have access to real problems and ideas to work on, as well as knowledge of important development areas. In this way, the collaboration is mutually beneficial.

In what ways can research take place?

Research collaboration can take place at all stages of the research process: problem formulation, data collection and analysis. Together we develop the question and method that is most relevant to the problem area. Collaboration can also take place around exchanges of experience, specific problem solving or expansion and linking of issues linked to existing research projects.

Research collaborations can be, for example, commissioned research, ongoing research, funding of joint PhD students and linked to other competence development.
